Ruggedized Arduino Capacitive Analog Soil Moisture Sensor – Waterproof / Corrosion Resistant

Description

This ruggedized capacitive analog soil moisture sensor works with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Adosia IoT systems or any microcontroller capable of reading a 0-3V analog input signal.

The ruggedized capacitive analog soil moisture sensor is waterproof, corrosion resistant and industrially protected for optimal durability and sustained performance.

Adosia first applies a dual coat of waterproof urethane conformal seal to protect the PCB components. We then further seal out moisture with a 3:1 dual walled and glue adhesive-lined waterproof heat shrink.

Further ruggedizing and waterproofing the capacitive analog soil moisture sensor is necessary to ensure long life operation of the moisture sensor within Arduino prototypes extending to real world applications.

A rugged and waterproof soil moisture sensor increases system reliability while also lowering the total cost of ownership and reducing overall maintenance of your IoT and/or gardening systems. Without ruggedizing and waterproofing, the soil moisture sensor circuitry is all but guaranteed to short out when it gets the slightest bit wet.
