# Adafruit TMP117 ±0.1°C High Accuracy I2C Temperature Sensor - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ADA4821 · **Brand:** [Adafruit](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/adafruit-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-tmp117-0-1-c-high-accuracy-i2c-temperature-sensor-stemma-qt-qwiic.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-tmp117-0-1-c-high-accuracy-i2c-temperature-sensor-stemma-qt-qwiic.html.md))

The TMP117 Precision Temperature Sensor is an I2C temperature sensor that will help you easily add temperature measurement and adjustment to your project. In addition to the obvious support for reading the temperature, the TMP117 can also monitor the temperature and alert you when corrective action needs to be taken.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $22.40 (inc GST) — $20.36 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $19.75 (exc GST) · 50+ $19.35 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 1 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=ADA4821:1` (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/ADA4821:1.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 **TMP117 Precision Temperature Sensor** is an I2C temperature sensor that will help you easily add temperature measurement and adjustment to your project. In addition to the obvious support for reading the temperature, the TMP117 can also monitor the temperature and alert you when corrective action needs to be taken.

Adafruit use the TMP117 (not N or M) variant, which has **16-bit** / **0.0078°C** measurement resolution, wide operating range of -55 to 155°C, and up to **±0.1°C accuracy**. The chip also has high and low **temperature alerts** and interrupt support, and hardware support required for NIST traceability, this temperature sensor is perfect for applications where you need to keep a close eye on temperature. The manufacturer, Texas Instruments, suggests it for use in sensitive applications like thermostats and cold chain asset tracking, or even gas and heat meters!

TMP117 temperature sensor has different accuracy for different ranges, here's what you can expect as the *maximum* variation for popular temperature ranges:

- ±0.1°C (maximum) from –20°C to +50°C
- ±0.15°C (maximum) from –40°C to +70°C
- ±0.2°C (maximum) from –40°C to +100°C
- ±0.25°C (maximum) from –55°C to +125°C
- ±0.3°C (maximum) from –55°C to +150°C

To make using it as easy as possible, we’ve put the TMP117 on a breakout PCB in Adafruit [Stemma QT form factor](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=stemma+qt) with a sprinkle of support circuitry to give you options when testing. You can either use a breadboard or the[ **SparkFun qwiic**](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=qwiic) compatible [**STEMMA QT**](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt) connectors, and compatibility with 5V voltage levels as commonly found on [Arduinos](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino.html), as well as 3.3V logic used by many other boards like the [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-4gb.html) or Adafruit's Feathers. [**QT Cable is not included**, but Adafruit have a variety in the shop](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=stemma+qt+cable) for quick plug-and-play support.

To get started, all you need to do is look over the [Pinouts](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-tmp117-high-accuracy-i2c-temperature-monitor/pinouts) page to familiarize yourself with the board, and then **[use the Arduino or Python & CircuitPython pages for instructions on how to wire up the TMP117 to your board, as well as libraries and example code to get you started.](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-tmp117-high-accuracy-i2c-temperature-monitor)**
