HTU21D Humidity and Temperature Sensor Breakout

Now available from PMD Way is the HTU21D Humidity and Temperature Sensor Breakout. Free delivery, worldwide.

The HTU21D is a low-cost, easy to use, highly accurate, digital humidity and temperature sensor. This sensor is ideal for environmental sensing and data logging and perfect for a weather stations or humidor control systems. All you need is two lines for I²C communication and you’ll have relative humidity readings and very accurate temperature readings as a bonus!

There are only four pins that need to be hooked up in order to start using this sensor in a project. One for VCC, one for GND, and two data lines for I²C communication. This breakout board has built in 4.7k pull up resistors for I²C communications. If you’re hooking up multiple I²C devices on the same bus, you may want to disable these resistors.

Note: Full drops of water can damage the sensor. We recommend wrapping the board in Teflon/irrigation tape for extreme conditions where water droplets may find their way onto the sensor.
