Thermo J click is a temperature measurement click board™, which uses a thermocouple type-J probe, connected to a PPC-SMP-J onboard connector. The active part of the Thermo J click is MCP9600 by Microchip - a thermocouple EMF to temperature converter, with 1.5°C of maximum accuracy. The onboard PCC-SMP-J connector ensures the secure connection and accurate readings for the connected thermocouple.
The main advantage of the thermocouples over some other types of temperature measuring devices, is a wide range of temperatures that they can measure. With the addition of four programmable ALERT lines routed to the mikroBUS™ pins, Thermo J click is an ideal solution for the temperature measurements in extreme conditions, hard to reach places, machinery, and similar applications.
