Air quality sensor protected from water and dust

Renesas has introduced a new version of the ZMOD4410 indoor air-quality sensor which has a waterproof package.

This version, available with the part numbers ZMOD4410AI3V or ZMOD4410AI3R, has an IP67 rating. These waterproof devices extend the Renesas ZMOD4410 Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) sensing platform, which offers measurement stability and high sensitivity to Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) gases.

A hermetically sealed package protects the sensor from water and dust, and features a hydrophobic and oleophobic material which is permeable to humidity and VOCs at the same time.

By combining IP67-rated packaging with the industry-leading accuracy and reliability that the ZMOD4410 platform is known for, Renesas enables new, low-power indoor air-quality applications which operate in splash zones, eliminating the need for expensive waterproofing systems.

The Renesas ZMOD4410 suits a wide range of applications, including smart thermostats, air purifiers, smart hvac equipment, IoT devices, industrial equipment, home appliances and cooker hoods.
