DHT22 Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor

Description

DHT22 Temperature and Relative Humidity Sensor

The DHT22 is a basic, low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the data pin (no analog input pins needed). Its simple to use and requires careful timing to grab data.

 

Specification:

• 3 to 5V power and I/O
• 2.5mA max current use during conversion (while requesting data)
• Good for 0-100% humidity readings with 2-5% accuracy
• Good for -40 to 80°C temperature readings ±0.5°C accuracy
• No more than 0.5 Hz sampling rate (once every 2 seconds)
• Body size 27 x 59 x 13.5mm
• 4 pins, 0.1″ spacing
