A/RH5-100-2W-D Humidity and Temperature Sensor: Equivalent and Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The A/RH5-100-2W-D is an active humidity and temperature sensor manufactured by Automation Components, Inc., designed for chassis mount applications requiring analog current and voltage outputs. This sensor measures relative humidity across the full 0–100% RH range with ±5% RH accuracy and simultaneous temperature monitoring. The product is currently active in production with 915 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across humidity range, output type, accuracy, response time, supply voltage, mounting configuration, and operating temperature specifications. Alternative models may be required due to packaging preferences, series availability, or inventory optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the A/RH5-100-2W-D are classified based on strict parameter equivalence. All identified substitutes maintain the following critical specifications:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Humidity Range: 0–100% RH
• Output Type: Analog Current and Analog Voltage
• Output Signals: 0V–5V, 0V–10V, 4mA–20mA
• Accuracy: ±5% RH
• Response Time: 20 s
• Voltage Supply: 18–28VAC, 12–40VDC
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Package/Case: Module

Allowable Variations:

• Operating Temperature range may differ (1.5°C to 60°C is acceptable as a subset of the original –40°C to 60°C range for specific applications)
• Packaging format (Tape & Box vs. standard module packaging)
• Series designation (A/RHx-AN or A/RHx-CP series variants)

All substitute parts listed are manufactured by Automation Components, Inc., and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and are manufactured by Automation Components, Inc. Selection between the A/RH5-100-2W-D and its equivalents is determined by the following criteria:

Full Temperature Range Requirement (–40°C to 60°C): Use A/RH5-100-2W-D, A/RH5-AN-D, or A/RH5-CP-D when applications require operation across the extended low-temperature range down to –40°C.

Restricted Temperature Range (1.5°C to 60°C): Use A/RH5-AN-R, A/RH5-AN-R2, A/RH5-AN-R2O, A/RH5-CP-R, or A/RH5-CP-R2 when applications operate only within the 1.5°C to 60°C range.

Series Designation: A/RHx-AN series (A/RH5-AN-D, A/RH5-AN-R, A/RH5-AN-R2, A/RH5-AN-R2O, A/RH5-AN-RSO-A03-A1) and A/RHx-CP series (A/RH5-CP-D, A/RH5-CP-R, A/RH5-CP-R2) represent different product lines within the same functional category. Selection between series is based on system integration requirements and connector specifications.

Inventory Availability: All substitute parts are in active stock. Selection may be optimized based on inventory levels and procurement lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can A/RH5-AN-R be used as a direct replacement for A/RH5-100-2W-D?

A: A/RH5-AN-R is electrically and mechanically equivalent to A/RH5-100-2W-D for all specified parameters. However, its operating temperature range is restricted to 1.5°C to 60°C. Direct substitution is valid only if the application does not require operation below 1.5°C.

Q: What is the difference between A/RHx-AN and A/RHx-CP series?

A: Both series maintain identical electrical specifications (humidity range, output type, accuracy, response time, supply voltage, and mounting configuration). The series designation reflects internal design or connector architecture differences. Selection between series depends on system integration requirements and connector compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Box packaging?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are packaged in Tape & Box (TB) format. The main part A/RH5-100-2W-D uses standard module packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: A/RH5-AN-R2O has the highest inventory with 1084 units in stock, followed by A/RH5-AN-RSO-A03-A1 with 1076 units.

Q: Can I use A/RH5-CP-D instead of A/RH5-100-2W-D in an application requiring –40°C operation?

A: Yes. A/RH5-CP-D maintains the full operating temperature range of –40°C to 60°C and is electrically equivalent to A/RH5-100-2W-D across all critical parameters.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for a valid substitution?

A: Humidity range (0–100% RH), output type (Analog Current and Analog Voltage), accuracy (±5% RH), response time (20 s), supply voltage (18–28VAC, 12–40VDC), mounting type (Chassis Mount), and package type (Module) must remain constant. Operating temperature range may be restricted to 1.5°C to 60°C depending on application requirements.
