## Description

The Adafruit MCP9601 (MCP96L01) I2C Thermocouple Amplifier handles all the analogue complexity of thermocouple measurement over a simple I2C interface. 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. The 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. Key Features 8 Thermocouple Types Supported – K, J, T, N, S, E, B, and R type ADC Resolution – ±0.0625°C measurement resolution Thermocouple Accuracy – ±2.0°C typical / ±4.0°C maximum (MCP96L01 chip accuracy, not including thermocouple tolerance) I2C Interface – Simple digital output with no analogue calibration required STEMMA QT / Qwiic Ports – Solderless I2C connection, no soldering needed Cold-Junction Compensation – Built-in reference for accurate readings Configurable Alerts – Set over/under temperature thresholds 3.3V and 5V Compatible – On-board regulator and level shifting Supported Temperature Ranges K Type: −200°C to +1372°C J Type: −150°C to +1200°C T Type: −200°C to +400°C N Type: −150°C to +1300°C E Type: −200°C to +1000°C S Type: +250°C to +1664°C B Type: +1000°C to +1800°C R Type: +250°C to +1664°C Ideal For Industrial temperature monitoring and data logging Reflow oven and kiln temperature control Scientific and laboratory measurement Any application requiring wide-range thermocouple readings over I2C Package Contents 1× Adafruit MCP9601 (MCP96L01) Thermocouple Amplifier breakout board (with STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors) 1× 2-pin terminal block 1× Header pin strip Note: 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.
