Thermocouple amplifier with I2C

The Grove module integrates Microchip MCP9600 to convert thermocouple voltage into digital temperature readings over I2C. It supports eight thermocouple types including K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R with typical 0.0625 °C resolution and ±1.5 °C accuracy. A Grove socket provides plug-and-play connection to compatible host boards.

Makers and engineers adding high-temperature sensing

Suits projects that need to measure temperatures far beyond thermistor limits, such as kilns, exhaust systems or thermal research up to 600 °C with a K-type probe. Not for applications that require an all-in-one probe, because the board cannot operate without a separate thermocouple. Also not for designs that lack an I2C master or cannot supply the module with power and pull-up resistors.

Eight thermocouple types supported

The MCP9600 handles K, J, T, N, S, E, B and R types with NIST ITS-90 correction coefficients and programmable digital filtering. This breadth of support is the specification that decides whether the module matches the thermocouple you already own or plan to buy.

Questions about this item

What I2C capabilities does the MCP9600 thermocouple amplifier provide?

The module communicates over I2C and converts thermocouple EMF to degrees Celsius with integrated cold-junction compensation. It corrects non-linearity for eight thermocouple types and outputs temperature data with ±1.5°C accuracy.

What physical connector does the Grove I2C Thermocouple Amplifier use for mounting?

It uses a Grove unified socket for plug-and-play connection. The board requires a separate K-type thermocouple or other supported thermocouple type to function, as it cannot operate alone.

How is the MCP9600 amplifier installed and what step is commonly missed?

Connect the module via its Grove socket to a compatible controller, then attach a K-type thermocouple to the terminal blocks. The step often missed is that the amplifier cannot work without a thermocouple connected.
