Humidity Sensitive Resistor is a resistive humidity-sensitive component based on moisture-sensitive materials. It detects ambient humidity by utilizing the change in resistance or impedance after polymer, ceramic, or composite moisture-sensitive materials absorb water vapor. The product can generally be classified by sensitive material, packaging form, reference impedance, and response time, with common forms including through-hole type, chip type, and probe type. Compared with capacitive humidity sensors and digital temperature-humidity sensors, Humidity Sensitive Resistor features a simple structure, low cost, and easy circuit matching, making it suitable for low-cost humidity detection, moisture judgment, and simple control applications.

Its upstream mainly includes polymer moisture-sensitive materials, ceramic substrates, electrode materials, leads, packaging housings, protective films, substrates, and testing and sorting equipment. The midstream covers material preparation, coating and sintering, electrode processing, packaging, and impedance calibration of Humidity Sensitive Resistor components. Its downstream applications mainly include Home Appliance, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Control, Automotive Electronics, Agriculture and Warehousing, and Other fields, where it is used in air conditioners, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, electronic thermo-hygrometers, electrical control cabinets, vehicle defogging systems, greenhouses, and warehousing environments for humidity detection, moisture alarms, and temperature-humidity control.

Global key Humidity Sensitive Resistor players cover Shinyei Technology, Hokuriku Electric Industry, Amphenol Advanced Sensors, Guangzhou Maihong Electronics, Guangzhou Aosong Electronics, etc.
