MAX6675 Module + K Type Thermocouple Sensor Measure 1024°C Temperature

The Maxim MAX6675 K-Thermocouple to Digital Converter IC is used by this MAX6675 Module + K Type Thermocouple Sensor Measure 1024°C Temperature sensor to provide a digital serial interface (SPI compatible) compatible with microcontrollers for an accurate temperature compensated measurement of the supplied K-Type thermocouple sensor.

It provides temperature readings with a resolution of 0.25°C and a 12-bit range from 0°C to 1024°C (the maximum temperature of the supplied sensor is 450°C). The thermocouples’ spade connectors can be connected to screw terminals, and an Arduino development board or other microcontroller can be accessed by a standard 5-pin 0.1′′ header.

Supplied thermocouple sensor has a diameter of 4.5mm with a 6mm threaded mounting bolt. The total length of the sensor including cable and spade connectors is ~50cm.

Features:

1. Internal integrated cold junction compensation circuit;
2. Temperature signal can be converted into 12-bit digital
3. Embedded thermocouple break detection circuitry.
4. K-type temperature probe
5. Simple SPI serial output temperature.
6. High impedance differential inputs.
7. Thermocouple break detection.
8. 2000V of ESD signal.

Connect your Arduino to the Thermocouple Module

Pretty simple stuff.   Keep the note about the thermocouple polarity in mind as you make these connections.
