MAX6675 K-type Thermocouple Temperature Sensor Temperature 0-800 Degrees Module

MAXIM MAX6675ISA SOP-8 MAX6675ISA

Description:

MAXIM MAX6675 is an American company with a cold junction compensation, linearity correction, thermocouple break detection ADC Serial K-type thermocouple, its temperature resolution capability is 0. 25 Degree, cold junction compensation range - 20 ~ + 80 Degree, wide operating voltage range 3. 0 ~ 5. 5V

Basic Specifications

As you can see in the table below, the fundamental requirements and capabilities jive nicely with the abilities of your Arduino micro-controller.

A word of warning –  There are some that sell this module that think it’s measurement range is from -200 to 1300 degrees F.  They’re wrong.  The MAX6675 chip measurement range is limited to what is detailed below:

TEMPERATURE RANGE NOTE:  It is true that MAXIM 6675 will read from zero to 1024 degrees C.  However, there is another limiting factor.   The K thermocouple will come with insulated wires and cable sheathing.   These too have temperature limits associated with them.  It is not unusual to have a sheathing on your thermocouple that fall below the range of the maxim chip.  Be careful here.

Package Included:
1 X MAX6675 Thermocouple Temperature Sensor

1 X Probe Spring
