About this manual

The H12K5 is a resistance‑type humidity sensor designed for humidity detection, humidifier/dehumidifier control, and other humidity‑related applications. It operates with a wide voltage range and can be driven at 1 kHz.

Key performance figures include a rated voltage of DC 1‑12 V or AC 1 Vrms, operating temperature from 0 °C to +50 °C, humidity range of 20‑90 %RH, and a maximum response time of 60 seconds. The sensor provides a standard resistance of 22 kΩ at 25 °C/60 %RH and an accuracy of ±5 %RH.
