Thermo K Click Board™
Product Code: MIKROE-2501
Temperature Range With the Type-K Probe, available in our store, this click can measure temperature up to +480 °C. With a different probe it can theoretically measure temperature up to +1372 °C. The Thermo K Click Board™ has a PCC-SMP thermocouple connector onboard, suitable for all K-type probes. Microchip MCP9600 The MCP9600 IC converts thermocouple EMF to degree Celsius with integrated Cold-Junction compensation. It corrects the thermocouple nonlinear error characteristics of eight thermocouple types and outputs ±1.5°C accurate temperature data. 4 Alert Outputs The Thermo K Click Board™ has 4 alert outputs onboard that can be used to detect multiple temperature zones. You can define on which specific temperature the THERMO K click will send an alarm. Low Power Modes Low-Power modes are available for battery-powered applications. In shut-down mode the module uses only 2 µA. THERMOCOUPLE PROBE To use the Thermo K Click Board™ you need to connect the appropriate K-type thermocouple probe (not included in the package) into the PCC-SMP connector.
Note: We offer the Thermocouple Type-K Glass Braid Insulated probes.
