8.2  Filter Cap and Sockets 
For SHT2x a filter cap SF2 will is available. It is designed 
for fast response times and compact size. Please find the 
datasheet on Sensirion‟s web page. 
For  testing  of  SHT2x  sensors  sockets,  such  as  from 
Plastronics,  part  number  10LQ50S13030  are 
recommended (see e.g. www.locknest.com).  
8.3  Traceability Information 
All  SHT2x  are  laser  marked  with  an  alphanumeric,  five-
digit code on the sensor – see Figure 19. 
The marking on the sensor consists of two lines with five 
digits  each.  The  first  line  denotes  the  sensor  type 
(SHT20). The first  digit of the second line  defines the 
output mode (D = digital, Sensibus and I
2
C, P = PWM, S = 
SDM). The second digit defines the manufacturing year (0 
= 2010, 1 = 2011, etc.). The last three digits represent an 
alphanumeric tracking code. That code can be decoded by 
Sensirion  only  and  allows  for  tracking  on  batch  level 
through  production,  calibration  and  testing  –  and  will  be 
provided upon justified request. 
Figure 19 Laser marking on SHT20. For details see text. 
Reels are also labeled, as displayed in Figure 20  and 
Figure 21, and give additional traceability information. 
Figure 20: First label on reel: XX = Sensor Type (20 for SHT20), 
O  =  Output  mode  (D  =  Digital,  P  =  PWM,  S  = SDM),  NN  = 
product  revision  no.,  Y  =  last  digit  of  year,  RRR  =  number  of 
sensors  on  reel  divided  by  10  (200  for  2000  units),  TTTTT  = 
Traceability Code. 
Figure 21:  Second  label on  reel: For Device  Type  and Part 
Order Number (See Packaging Information on page 2), Delivery 
Date  (also  Date  Code)  is  date  of  packaging  of  sensors  (DD  = 
day, MM  =  month,  YYYY = year),  CCCC =  Sensirion  order 
number. 
8.4  Shipping Package 
SHT2x  are  provided  in  tape  &  reel  shipment  packaging, 
sealed into antistatic ESD bags. Standard packaging sizes 
are  1500 and  5000  units  per reel. For SHT20, each reel 
contains 440mm (55 pockets) header tape and 200mm (25 
pockets) trailer tape. 
The  drawing  of  the  packaging  tapes  with  sensor 
orientation is shown in Figure 22. The reels are provided in 
sealed antistatic bags.

Header  tape  is  to  the  right  and  trailer  tape  to  the  left  on  this 
sketch. 
9  Compatibility to SHT1x / 7x protocol 
SHT2x  sensors  may  be  run  by  communicating  with  the 
Sensirion specific communication protocol used for SHT1x 
and SHT7x. In case such protocol is applied please refer 
to  the  communication  chapter  of  datasheet  SHT1x  or 
SHT7x.  Please  note  that  reserved  status  bits  of  user 
register must not be changed. 
Please understand that with the SHT1x/7x communication 
protocol only functions described in respective datasheets 
can  be  used  with  the  exception  of  the  OTP  Reload 
function  that  is  not  set  to  default  on  SHT2x.  As  an
