Humidity Sensors & Components

Humidity sensors are devices that measure and quantify the moisture content in the air. Typically used in climate control systems, industrial processes, and consumer electronics, these sensors detect changes in electrical, mechanical, or optical properties corresponding to humidity variations. Capacitive and resistive sensors are common types, relying on changes in capacitance or resistance due to moisture absorption. Integrated components often include a sensing element, signal conditioning circuitry, and a microcontroller for data processing. Accurate humidity measurement is crucial in diverse applications, ensuring optimal conditions for processes, environmental comfort, and preventing issues like corrosion or mold growth.
