Description

Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The MAX31855K does everything for you and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller, even one without an analog input. This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V regulator with 10uF bypass capacitors, and level shifting circuitry, all assembled and tested. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard).

Features:

Works with any K type thermocouple
Will not work with any other kind of thermocouple other than K type
-200?C to +1350?C output in 0.25-degree increments??? note that K thermocouples have about ?2?C to ?6?C accuracy
Internal temperature reading
3.3 to 5v power supply and logic level compliance!
SPI data output requires any 3 digital I/O pins.

Package Includes:
1 x MAX31855 K-type thermocouple module
