Thermocouple Temperature Sensor K-type Probe w/ MAX6675 Module

This thermocouple is designed with fork terminals. Specially designed for digital thermometer which has k type sensor, suitable for measuring liquid or others high-temperature applications. The MAX6675 performs cold-junction compensation and digitizes the signal from a type-K thermocouple. The data is output in a 12-bit resolution, SPI™-compatible, read-only format.

Specification:

• Easy installation
• Working Voltage: DC 5V
• Operating Current: 50mA
• Probe temperature measurement range: 0° - 600 °C ± 1.5 °C
• Probe length: 500mm
• Resolution: 0.25 °C
• Output Mode: SPI digital signal
• Weight: 4g
• Size: 25mm * 15mm * 13mm

Package included :
1 x MAX6675 Module
1 x K Type Thermocouple Sensor Probe

Get the MAX6675 Arduino Library

The Maxim 6675 library for your Arduino if freely available at GitHub.   You can get it here.

If you are unfamiliar with installing Arduino libraries, you can read this page.

Connect your Arduino to the Thermocouple Module

Pretty simple stuff.  Keep the note about the thermocouple polarity in mind as you make these connections. 

Copy and Paste the Arduino MAX6675 Sketch

// Sample Arduino MAX6675 Arduino Sketch

#include "max6675.h"

int ktcSO = 8;
int ktcCS = 9;
int ktcCLK = 10;

MAX6675 ktc(ktcCLK, ktcCS, ktcSO);

  
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  // give the MAX a little time to settle
  delay(500);
}

void loop() {
  // basic readout test
  
   Serial.print("Deg C = "); 
   Serial.print(ktc.readCelsius());
   Serial.print("\t Deg F = ");
   Serial.println(ktc.readFahrenheit());
 
   delay(500);
