Abstract
A humidity sensor assembly includes an integrated signal-processing component. A capacitive humidity sensor is disposed on the signal-processing component. An encapsulation partially surrounds the signal-processing component and has an opening in a region of the humidity sensor. A low-resistance, electrically conductive dissipation element is disposed in a region of the opening such that, in an event of an electrostatic discharge, a resulting discharge current is dischargeable through the at least one dissipation element at least to an extent that sensitive portions of the signal-processing component remain safe.

A humidity sensor assembly comprising:
- an integrated signal-processing component,
- at least one capacitive humidity sensor disposed on the signal-processing component,
- an encapsulation that partially surrounds the signal-processing component and has an opening in a region of the at least one humidity sensor, and
- at least one low-resistance, electrically conductive dissipation element is disposed in a region of the opening such that, in an event of an electrostatic discharge, a resulting discharge current is dischargeable through the at least one dissipation element at least to an extent that sensitive portions of the signal-processing component remain safe.
