H5000 & 5100

 Capacitive Relative Humidity Sensor
The operating principle of these capacitive relative humidity sensors are based on the hygroscopic properties of their polymer, which is used like a dielectric in a capacitor. The polymer gets in equilibrium with its humid environment quickly, and reversibly, and changes its capacity value depending on the humidity level.
