Express post delivery (2-5 business days)

The Adafruit MCP9808 is a high-accuracy digital temperature sensor with ±0.25°C typical accuracy over its −40°C to +125°C range and 0.0625°C resolution. It communicates over standard I2C and runs on 2.7V to 5.5V power and logic, making it compatible with virtually any microcontroller or single-board computer.

With three address jumpers on the back of the breakout, you can connect up to 8 sensors on a single I2C bus without address collisions. The STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors on both sides allow solderless daisy-chaining for quick prototyping.
