• Compact and easy to integrate
• Digital output for easy interfacing with microcontrollers
• Built-in signal processing for reliable readings

Technical Specifications:

• Measurement Range: -40°C to +300°C
• Accuracy: ±1°C or ±1% of the reading (whichever is greater)
• Resolution: 0.1°C
• Emissivity: Adjustable or fixed (depending on model)
• Response Time: <500ms
• Output Type: Digital (I2C, SPI, or UART)
• Operating Voltage: 3.3V or 5V (depending on model)
• Operating Current: 10mA (typical)
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to +50°C (sensor environment)
• Storage Temperature Range: -20°C to +60°C
• Dimensions: 25mm x 20mm x 10mm (approximately, varies by manufacturer)
• Mounting Type: Typically surface mount or through-hole

Applications:

• Industrial Monitoring: Measures temperature of machinery, electrical components, and processes.
• Medical Equipment: Used in non-contact temperature measurement for medical diagnostics.
• HVAC Systems: Monitors temperature in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
• Safety and Maintenance: Detects overheating in electrical systems or equipment.
• Consumer Electronics: Integrated into devices for temperature measurement and control.

Usage:

1. Mount the sensor in the desired location, ensuring it has a clear line of sight to the target.
2. Connect the sensor to a microcontroller or data acquisition system using the appropriate communication interface.
3. Calibrate the sensor if necessary, especially if adjustable emissivity is used.
4. Read and process the temperature data from the sensor’s output.

Caution:

• Avoid direct exposure to strong light sources or reflective surfaces that can affect readings.
• Ensure proper thermal calibration for accurate measurements in different environments.
• Handle the sensor carefully to avoid damage to the optical components.
