Humidity and Temperature Module for Appliances and HVAC Applications

The solution for humidity and temperature sensing remotely from the main control board is now available world-wide through Sensirion’s distribution network.

Sensirion, the expert in environmental sensing, now offers a new humidity and temperature module, the SCC30-DB. Some applications require a humidity and temperature sensor to be located in a specific part of the device – often at a different location to the main control board. With the SCC30, customers can place a humidity and temperature sensor anywhere in a device and connect it to the main board with a cable. Based on Sensirion’s experience and expertise in environmental sensing, the SCC30 is optimized for easy design-in and sensing performance. The SCC30 offers superior sensor performance with capacitive sen-sor elements and a very attractive price/performance ratio due to Sensirion’s latest generation of highly integrated humidity and temperature sensors SHT3x.

The module provides high reliability and excellent long-term stability, a broad supply voltage range of 2.4 V to 5.5 V and delivers fully calibrated and processed measurement values through an I2C interface. The compact design with connector and easy-to-use digital interface makes the SCC30-DB a cost-effective and versatile plug & play solution for a wide range of applications.

Typical applications are air treatment devices such as air conditioners, air purifiers, humidifiers and dehumidifiers. The SCC30-DB is also optimally suited for HVAC and other appliance products.
