Alternate source for RH / Temp Sensor

[jraef]

I am looking for an alternate source for this sensor, currently sourced from Omega.

It is the HX94 Series from them, but knowing Omega, they are brand-labeling something else and I'm hoping to find the OEM who they get it from. Omega has messed with my customer for the last time, but the project I am working on needs the features and mounting / connection arrangement of this RH/Temp sensor.

Your assessment of Omega is on the mark.

Two major vendors of humidity instrumentation are

and Rotronics:

You might try Michell Instruments:

http://www.michell.com/.

Very nice products, pricey though.

The other names I can think of are Dwyer, who are likely to be cheaper than Michell, and Panametrics who have adopted the GE pricing policy: take the component cost, add four zeros to it, then multiply by root three.

If you need a bunch of them: You could buy one and hack it open. The inner circuit board will likely have the manufacture's name on it. You might even be able to disassemble and reassemble it without damaging it.
