SHT85
Overview
The SHT85 is a high-accuracy, digital humidity and temperature sensor housed in a 4-pin SIP module for easy through-hole assembly. It features a PTFE membrane that provides IP67-rated protection against water and dust while maintaining a fast 8-second response time. The sensor utilizes Sensirion CMOSens technology to deliver fully calibrated, linearized, and temperature-compensated 16-bit digital outputs over an I2C interface.
Why Choose This Part
The SHT85 offers a superior typical accuracy of +/-1.5% RH and includes an integrated 100nF decoupling capacitor and a PTFE filter for immediate industrial use. Its through-hole package allows for easy replacement and maintenance compared to surface-mount alternatives, while the internal heater allows for advanced plausibility checking and recovery from condensing conditions.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the SHT85 to any I2C-capable microcontroller like an ESP32 or STM32 using its 2.15V to 5.5V supply range. Use the official Sensirion Arduino SHT Sensor library to quickly read data and implement CRC-8 checksum verification for robust communication. Ensure the sensor is mounted away from heat sources on the PCB to maintain measurement accuracy.
