Sensirion to start production of SHT21 sensor
Swiss manufacturer says it is the smallest digital humidity sensor in the world
The SHT21 consists of a newly designed sensor chip encapsulated in a DFN 3-0 package. With this encapsulation the chip is completely over-moulded, except for the humidity sensing area. This reduces the component’s size to 3x3mm with a height of 1.1mm. The company says it also provides protection against condensation and harsh environments, therefore giving outstanding long-term stability.
Typical sensor accuracy is ±2% RH over 20–80% RH and ±0.3 °C over 25–42°C.
A scan path routine enables detailed sensor quality checking, while individual detailed tracking information on the chip can be read out by a simple command. Additionally, the SHT21 is reflow solderable without any degradation of sensor performance. The sensor is provided on tape and reel to facilitate trouble-free handling.

Why CAPA keeps failing and what strong organisations do differently
Read moreThis white paper examines why CAPA systems often close records without preventing recurrence, tracing breakdowns to investigation quality, risk reasoning, and organisational behaviour rather than procedural gaps. It outlines what differentiates compliant CAPA programmes from those that consistently reduce repeat findings and inspection risk
