GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies’ ChipCap is a relative humidity and temperature sensor for the HVAC, automotive, medical and appliance industries. ChipCap is fully factory calibrated, eliminating end user calibration and enhancing interchangeability.
The sensors change capacitance in direct proportion to ambient relative humidity. A thin film platinum changes resistance in proportion to temperature.
GE claims that ChipCap is the only device on the market that offers both digital and analog configurations on a single, 5VDC-powered chip. The sensors fully recover from condensing environments and may be used across a range of 0 to 100% RH and -50°C to 150°C.
