values for thermal metrics. In the “heater on” columns a heater power of 200 mW was

assumed. Soldering of the die pad is not recommended, therefore the two right hand side columns are bold.

Values are based on simulation.

6 Quality and Material Contents

Qualification of SHT4x is performed based on the JEDEC JESD47 qualification test method,

qualification report available on request. The device is fully RoHS and WEEE compliant, e.g. free

of Pb, Cd, and Hg.

For general remarks of best practice in processing humidity sensor please refer to the handling

instructions [2].

7 Tape and Reel Packaging

All specifications for the tape and reel packaging can be found on Figure 15. Reel diameters are

13 inch and 8 inch for the 10k and the 2.5k packaging sizes, respectively.
