Adafruit Analog Output K-Type Thermocouple Amplifier - Ad8495 Breakout Ada1778]

Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference We have a couple digital thermocouple amplifiers in the shop already from Maxim Now were happy to introduce an excellent analog-output amplifier This is a very simple sensor to use, and if your microcontroller has analog input capability, youll be ready to go really fast The AD8495 K-type thermocouple amplifier from Analog Devices is so easy to use, we documented the whole thing on the back of the tiny PcB Power the board with 3-18VDc and measure the output voltage on the OUT pin You can easily convert the voltage to temperature with the following equation: Temperature = (Vout - 125) 0005 V So for example, if the voltage is 15VDc, the temperature is (15 - 125) 0005 = 50Ac Each order comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple), a fully assembled PcB with the AD8495 + TLVH431 125V precision voltage reference, and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard) goes great with our 1m K-type thermocouple (not included) Not for use with any other kind of thermocouple, K type only
