HIH6131-021-001 - Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensor: HIH6100 Series, I2C, ±4.0 %RH accuracy, SOIC-8 SMD, with filter, 1000 units on tape and reel || HIH6131-021-001 - Quad Industry GmbH

Industry-leading Total Error Band (TEB) (±5 %RH): Honeywell specifies Total Error Band—the most comprehensive, clear, and meaningful measurement –that provides the sensor’s true accuracy of ±5 %RH over a compensated range of 5 °C to 50 °C [41 °F to 122 °F] and 10 %RH to 90 %RH. TEB includes all errors due to:

Total Error Band should not be confused with “Accuracy”, which is actually a component of Total Error Band. Many competitors simply specify the accuracy of their device, however, the specification may exclude hysteresis and temperature effects, and may be calculated over a very narrow range, at only one point in the range, or at their absolute best accuracy level. It is then up to the customer to calibrate the device to make sure it has the accuracy needed for the life of the application.

Honeywell’s industry-leading Total Error Band provides the following benefits to the customer:

Industry-leading long term stability (1.2 %RH over five years): Competitive humidity sensors need to go through a 12 hour at 75 %RH rehydration process (which requires special equipment chambers) to correct reflow temperature offset. Honeywell’s sensor also experiences an offset after reflow, however, it only requires a five hour rehydration under ambient conditions (>50 %RH). Honeywell’s industry-leading long term stability provides the following benefits to the customer:

Industry-leading reliability: Honeywell’s new HIH6130/6131 Series sensors use a laser trimmed, thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element. The element's multilayer construction provides resistance to most application hazards such as condensation, dust, dirt, oils, and common environmental chemicals which help provide industry-leading stability and reliability.

Lowest total cost solution: Offers customers the lowest total cost solution due to the sensor’s industry-leading Total Error Band and its being a combined humidity/temperature sensor.

True, temperature-compensated digital I2C output: Typically allows the customer to remove the components associated with signal conditioning from the PCB to free up space and reduce costs associated with those components (e.g., acquisition, inventory, assembly). Often eliminates problems that could occur from having multiple signal conditioning components across the PCB. Simplifies integration to the microprocessor, eliminating the need for customer-implemented, complex signal conditioning.
