The Adafruit PCT2075 Temperature Sensor is a 'code compatible' drop in replacement for a very common I2C temperature sensor, the LM75. Compared to the LM75, however...

## Pricing

- **Price:** $9.95 (inc GST) — $9.05 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $8.77 (exc GST) · 50+ $8.59 (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 8–12 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4369:1` (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/ADA4369:1.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

The **Adafruit PCT2075 Temperature Sensor** is a 'code compatible' drop in replacement for a very common I2C temperature sensor, the LM75. Compared to the LM75, however, the 11-bit ADC in the PCT2075 provides more precise measurements when compared to the LM75's 9-bit ADC. Additionally because the PCT2075 allows the address pins to work in three states (high, low, floating), you can have 27 PCT2075s on the same bus as opposed to only 8 for the LM75. Now you can *finally* measure the individual temperatures of the tentacles of **three octopuses** instead of just one!

Otherwise the two sensors are the same. The PCT2075 will report temperature and allow you to a set a high temperature threshold that the sensor will compare to the current temperature and raise an alert when the current temperature exceeds the threshold. There are also a few (metaphorical) knobs to twist to change the alerting and measurement behavior.

As with all Adafruit breakouts, Adafruit have done the work to make this handy temperature helper super easy to use. Adafruit have put it on a breakout board with the required support circuitry and connectors to make it easy to work with, and is now a trend Adafruit have added [SparkFun Qwiic](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=qwiic) compatible [**STEMMA QT**](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt) JST SH connectors that allow you to get going **without needing to solder.** Just use a [STEMMA QT adapter cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/jst-sh-4-pin-to-premium-male-headers-cable-qwiic-compatible-150mm-long.html), plug it into your favorite micro or Blinka supported SBC and you're ready to rock!

The PCT2075 is a handy and inexpensive temperature sensor that does one thing well. Try adding one to your project and have it keep an eye on the temperature and let you know when things get hot - or cold!
