New Honeywell digital humidity & temperature sensors available at Newark

CHICAGO, OCTOBER 13, 2011

Ultra-small, energy-efficient sensor series offers industry-leading accuracy and lowest total cost of ownership

Newark, a leading multi-channel, high-service electronics distributor in the Americas, and a business of Premier Farnell, announced today that it is stocking Honeywell’s new ultra-small HumidIcon™ digital humidity/temperature sensors, designed for use in HVAC-refrigeration and medical applications, where accuracy, size and low total cost are critical factors.

The new series offers engineers what Honeywell describes as an industry-leading Total Error Band, which includes all sources of error that a sensor might see, and that provides true accuracy of ±5%RH over a compensated temperature range of 5 °C to 50° C and 10%RH to 90%RH. This eliminates the need for individual sensor testing and calibration, supports system accuracy and warranty requirements, helps to optimize system uptime and provides excellent sensor interchangeability—all of which add up to the lowest total cost of ownership.

“We are pleased to add Honeywell’s innovative sensor series to our inventory of new technologies” commented Jeff Uden, VP, Product Management, Newark. “Engineers can count on us to carry the latest products that support energy-saving applications.”

Detailed technical information, sensing solutions, product training and links to relevant engineering community discussions can be found at the Newark’s sensing microsite. Honeywell’s complete sensor and switch offering is available for same-day shipping at www.newark.ca/honeywell
