Datasheet Filter Cap SF2
For Humidity and Temperature Sensor SHT2x

Protection against dust and particles
Protection against water immersion
Designed to match on SHT2x DFN type sensors
Optimized for response time of sensor

Product Summary
The filter cap SF2 protects SHT2x humidity and
temperature sensors against dust, water immersion 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 SF2 is available in black color
with a black filter membrane.

Dimensions

The filter cap SF2 is made of a single piece of
Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with a filter membrane
welded on it. The SF2 filter cap is designed to be mounted
after soldering by clipping the four pins into openings in
the PCB. 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 oring it serves for a waterproof mounting solution.

are given in mm (1mm = 0.039inch), tolerances are ±0.1mm.
Add 0.15 to total height due to the filter membrane. The cavity
inside the cap fits to SHT2x sensors. Additional space for solder
joints are left open around the sensor.
