Humidity Sensor

Type HCZ-D5
Description This product specification is applied to the Humidity Sensor Type HCZ-D5. The terminal electrode material uses lead free solder (Sn / Ag / Cu). This product is conformity with RoHS directive which means that lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavelent chromium and specific bromine-based flame retardants have not been used. Applications The applications of the component are used in relative humidity measurement, control and display. There are many end products can be used. Fox example air conditioner, humidifier, dehumidifier, hygrometer, recorder, transmitter etc.
