Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5182:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The AM2315C is a nice, enclosed temperature and humidity sensor [from the same folks that brought Adafruit the AM2315](https://core-electronics.com.au/am2315-encased-i2c-temperature-humidity-sensor.html). In fact, this enclosed sensor looks an *awful lot* like the popular AM2315 temperature and humidity sensors, but [inside is the AHT20](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-aht20-temperature-humidity-sensor-breakout-board-stemma-qt-qwiic.html). You can power it with anything from 2.5V to 5.5V so it's good with 3V or 5V microcontrollers. You can take sensor readings as often as you like, and it uses standard I2C so it's super easy to use with any Arduino or Linux/Raspberry Pi board.Whew, that makes things a little easier, doesn't it? While it is not rated as 'weatherproof', this sensor would do much better for sensing where there might be wind, rain, zombies, etc. than SHT PCB-breakout sensors, and the I2C interface makes it easier to interface with microcomputers that can't do the delicate timing of DHT sensors. This sensor has a typical accuracy of ±2% relative humidity, and ±0.3 °C at 20-80% RH and 20-60 °C. There is only one I2C address so it's not a good option when you need multiple humidity sensors. That said, for maker and IoT projects? You can't beat the simplicity and price! And Adafruit have got ready-to-go working Arduino and CircuitPython code to use it. **[Check out Adafruit's detailed guide for library code, datasheet, and more](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-aht20)** Each order comes with one AM2315C sensor with built-in pullups. You just provide any microcontroller that can run Adafruit's Arduino or CircuitPython library. ## Technical Details - I2C address 0x38 (cannot be changed) - 2.5V to 5.5V power and logic level - Cable Length: 508mm / 20" - Wiring order: Red: Power, Black: Ground, Yellow: SDA, White: SCL - 4 wires, 50mm / 2" long - Built-in 4.7K I2C pullup resistors. - Usage Humidity: 0... 100%RH - Usage Temperature: -40ºC – 80ºC - Body size 98mm x 16mm diameter (4" x 0.9" ) - Typical accuracy of ±2% relative humidity, and ±0.3 °C at 20-80% RH and 20-60 °C - Overall accuracy of ±3% relative humidity, and ±0.5 °C - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/5182_AM2315C_956578ba3ac.pdf) ![RoHS 2 2011 65 EU Compliant](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2011_65_EU_7356c5574c.svg)![RoHS 2 2015 863 EU Compliant](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/RoHS2_2015_863_EU_86773f57f9.svg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/i/m/image_866.jpg)
