Description

The Renke SHT-68 probe utilizes Sensirion’s SHT20 chip, a CMOSens® technology-based sensor that combines a capacitive humidity sensor and a band-gap temperature sensor on a single silicon die. This integration ensures excellent long-term stability and minimal cross-sensitivity. The sensor is factory-calibrated, delivering linearized digital signals via the I2C bus, which simplifies integration and eliminates the need for user calibration.

Housed in a robust hard cover with a 68mm probe length, this sensor is designed for reliable performance in demanding conditions. Its low power consumption and wide operating voltage range make it a prime choice for embedded environmental monitoring systems, HVAC control, and data-logging applications where space and energy efficiency are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Renke SHT-68 probe?

The probe operates from 2.1V to 3.6V DC. It is designed for 3.3V logic systems and is not 5V tolerant. A level shifter or voltage divider must be used if connecting to a 5V microcontroller to prevent damage to the Sensirion SHT20 sensor chip.

How do I connect and read data from this sensor using I2C?

The sensor uses a standard I2C interface. Connect the SDA and SCL lines to your microcontroller with appropriate pull-up resistors (typically 4.7kΩ). The default I2C address for the SHT20 is 0x40. You can use existing SHT20/SHT21 libraries for Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi to request temperature and humidity measurements.

Is the sensor calibrated, and what is its accuracy?

Yes, the Sensirion SHT20 sensor is fully factory-calibrated. It provides a typical temperature accuracy of ±0.3°C and humidity accuracy as per the SHT20 datasheet specifications. The digital output is linearized, so no user calibration is required for most applications.

What is the purpose of the hard cover on the probe?

The hard protective cover provides mechanical durability and shields the internal DFN-packaged sensor from physical impact, dust, and minor moisture splashes. It extends the sensor's lifespan in industrial or outdoor environments, though it is not a substitute for a sealed IP-rated enclosure if full waterproofing is needed.
