Frequently asked questions

What is the supply voltage range for the SHT21 P sensor?

The sensor operates from 2.1 V to 3.6 V, with a recommended supply of 3.0 V.

How does the SCL pin select humidity or temperature output?

SCL high selects humidity output, while SCL low selects temperature output.

What soldering profile is recommended for the sensor?

The sensor tolerates a peak temperature of up to 260 °C for no more than 40 seconds in reflow, or 233 °C for up to 60 seconds in vapor‑phase reflow.

What are the recommended storage conditions for the SHT21 P?

Store the sensor at 10 °C – 50 °C and 20 % – 60 %RH, in its original antistatic bag, with a moisture‑sensitivity level of 2 for up to one year.
