## 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).
