Connect your thermocouple, wire up I2C (or use the solderless STEMMA QT connector), and read accurate temperature data from K, J, T, N, S, E, B, and R type thermocouples.\n\nThe MCP96L01 chip includes built-in cold-junction compensation, configurable over/under temperature alerts, and reports both the thermocouple (hot) and ambient chip (cold) temperatures. The breakout board features a 3.3V regulator and level shifting, so it works seamlessly with both 3.3V and 5V logic.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n8 Thermocouple Types Supported – K, J, T, N, S, E, B, and R type\n\nADC Resolution – ±0.0625°C measurement resolution\n\nThermocouple Accuracy – ±2.0°C typical / ±4.0°C maximum (MCP96L01 chip accuracy, not including thermocouple tolerance)\n\nI2C Interface – Simple digital output with no analogue calibration required\n\nSTEMMA QT / Qwiic Ports – Solderless I2C connection, no soldering needed\n\nCold-Junction Compensation – Built-in reference for accurate readings\n\nConfigurable Alerts – Set over/under temperature thresholds\n\n3.3V and 5V Compatible – On-board regulator and level shifting\n\n\nSupported Temperature Ranges\n\n\nK Type: −200°C to +1372°C\n\nJ Type: −150°C to +1200°C\n\nT Type: −200°C to +400°C\n\nN Type: −150°C to +1300°C\n\nE Type: −200°C to +1000°C\n\nS Type: +250°C to +1664°C\n\nB Type: +1000°C to +1800°C\n\nR Type: +250°C to +1664°C\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nIndustrial temperature monitoring and data logging\nReflow oven and kiln temperature control\nScientific and laboratory measurement\nAny application requiring wide-range thermocouple readings over I2C\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit MCP9601 (MCP96L01) Thermocouple Amplifier breakout board (with STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors)\n1× 2-pin terminal block\n1× Header pin strip\n\n\n\nNote: Thermocouple and STEMMA QT cable not included. Typical K-type thermocouples have ±2°C to ±6°C accuracy independent of the amplifier's resolution. Some soldering is required for the terminal block and header pins.\n\n\nResources\n\nMCP9601 Guide with Wiring & Code (Adafruit Learn)\nWhat is STEMMA QT?
