HDC3020: recommend package material to help solve accuracy issue

Part Number: HDC3020

Tool/software:

Dears:

Customer found when HDC3020 OK boards put into package to store . then they found some HDC3020 accuracy change a lot. Customer thought maybe there is some chemical material may impact HDC3020 accuracy. 

So they need TI help provide package material recommendation to help customer store the boards. Thanks. 

  • Hello,

    We recommend storing the humidity sensor boards inside of metallized antistatic bags, without additives or colors. Here is an example of what I mean:

    The customer must avoid storing with pink foam or pink bags, they contain additives that outgas and degrade the sensing polymer. Avoid antistatic polyethylene and LDPE (low density polyethylene) storage materials which will also contaminate and degrade the sensing polymer.

    Regards
