LM35 Precision Centigrade Temperature Sensor
In Stock
Categories: Transistors
Description
Key Features:
✔ Linear Output: 10mV/°C – No complex math required (0V = 0°C, 100mV = 10°C). ✔ Wide Temperature Range – Measures -55°C to +150°C (±0.5°C accuracy at 25°C). ✔ Low Self-Heating – Draws only 60µA, minimizing measurement errors. ✔ Single-Wire Analog Output – Connects directly to Arduino, Raspberry Pi (with ADC), or other MCUs. ✔ Small & Robust – TO-92 or SOIC package for breadboards/PCBs.
Applications:
-
Weather Stations – Ambient temperature logging.
-
Thermostats & HVAC – Air/water temperature feedback.
-
Battery Management – Overheat protection.
-
Industrial Control – Process monitoring.
Wiring Guide:
-
VCC → 4V–30V (5V typical for Arduino).
