**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-mcp9600-i2c-thermocouple-amplifier-k-j-t-n-s-e-b-and-r-type-t.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-mcp9600-i2c-thermocouple-amplifier-k-j-t-n-s-e-b-and-r-type-t.html.md))

Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The Adafruit MCP9600 does all that for you, and can be easily interfaced...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $30.15 (inc GST) — $27.41 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $26.59 (exc GST) · 50+ $26.04 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 2 today, and up to 500 more in 7–12 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4101:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4101:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The **Adafruit MCP9600** does all that for you, and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller or single-board-computer with I2C. Inside, the chip handles all the analog stuff for you, and can interface with just about any thermocouple type: K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R type are all supported! You can also set various alerts for over/under temperature, and read the thermocouple (hot) temperature and the chip (cold) temperature. All this over common I2C

This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V regulator and level shifting circuitry, all assembled and tested. Works great with 3.3V *or* 5V logic. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard). [Match it up with Adafruit's 1m K-type thermocouple](https://core-electronics.com.au/thermocouple-type-k-glass-braid-insulated-k.html).

- Works with any K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R type thermocouple
- Datasheet rated for:K Type: -200°C to +1372°CJ Type: -150°C to +1200°CT Type: -200°C to +400°CN Type: -150°C to +1300°CE Type: -200°C to +1000°CS Type: +250°C to +1664°CB Type: +1000°C to +1800°CR Type: +250°C to +1664°C
- Resolution of ±0.0625 °C - note that K thermocouples have about ±2°C to ±6°C accuracy
- Internal temperature reading
- 3.3 to 5v power supply and logic level compliant
- I2C data connection
