Datasheet Filter Cap SF1 for Humidity Sensors SHT1x

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Filter Cap SF1 is designed to protect SHT1x humidity and temperature sensors from dust, water immersion, and particle contamination. It is optimized to minimize the impact on sensor response time and is made from Polypropylene (PP) with a PTFE filter membrane.
Technical Specifications: The cap operates within a temperature range of -40 to 100°C, has a filter pore size of 1.5µm, and offers a filtration efficiency of 99.99% for 0.1µm particles at 0.05m/s air flow. It is oleophobic with a rating of 6 and can withstand a Mullen Hydrostatic pressure of 70kPa.
Mounting Instructions: The cap is mounted post-soldering by inserting pins into PCB openings and can be secured with adhesive or by melting the pins. For enhanced protection, adhesive should be applied between the cap, sensor housing, and PCB.
Packaging: Filter Caps are supplied in stackable trays of 100 units, with four trays per bag. Each shipment is labeled with product and tracking information.
Important Notices: The product is not intended for safety-critical applications. ESD precautions are necessary during handling. Sensirion provides a 12-month warranty against defects in design, material, or workmanship.
Contact Information: Sensirion's headquarters are in Switzerland, with sales offices in the USA, Japan, Korea, and China. Further details and local representatives can be found on their website.

Datasheet Filter Cap SF1 for Humidity Sensors SHT1x-1

BEN5IRION THS SENSOR COMPANY Datasheet Filter Cap SF1 For Humidity and Temprature Sensor Protection against dust and particles 镕 Protection against water immersion Designed to match on SHT1x SMD type sensors Օ Optimized on response time of sensor Product Summary The Filter Cap SF1 protects SHT1x humidity and temperature sensors against dust, water immersion and consequent condensation, as well as against contamination by particles. The cavity inside is made such that the volume between membrane and sensor is kept minimal and hence the impact on response time for humidity measurements is reduced to a minimum. The Filter Cap is available in white color. The Filter Cap is made of a single piece of Polypropylene (PP) and a filter membrane welded to the single piece. The Filter Cap is designed to be mounted after soldering by sticking two pins into holes in the PCB and welding it from back side. Together with the sensor it provides a compact entity which may serve as an adaptor to the device housing. Adding adhesive for seal to PCB and using an O-ring it provides a waterproof mounting solution.

Datasheet Filter Cap SF1 for Humidity Sensors SHT1x-2

BEN5IRION THE SENSOR COMPANY User's Guide Filter Cap SF1 Mounting Instruction The Filter Cap SF1 is mounted to the PCB after soldering SHTIx sensor by sticking the two pins into two openings in the PCB. The Filter Cap may be fixed by adhesive or by melting the pins from the back side by heating them up to at least 160°C by a hot iron or equivalent - compare Figure 2. around the black cap and on the PCB around the sensor before mounting the Filter Cap. Make sure environment is well ventilated while adhesive is curing. Adhesive must be of high viscosity to prevent it from entering the sensor protection...
