Description

This module employs an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor, whose resistance decreases predictably with rising temperature. The signal is conditioned by an LM393 voltage comparator, which provides a clean digital output switch at a user-defined threshold set by the potentiometer. This design offers a simple, robust method for temperature monitoring without requiring analog-to-digital conversion on the host controller.

The module is designed for durability in typical electronic environments, featuring a standard PCB construction suitable for prototyping and embedded systems. Its digital output can directly drive small loads or interface with relays, making it ideal for creating temperature-activated switches in automation projects.

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity NTC thermistor provides reliable ambient temperature detection.
  • LM393 comparator ensures stable digital output with strong drive capability (>15mA).
  • User-adjustable setpoint allows for flexible temperature control applications.
  • Optimized 3.3V/5V logic compatibility for use with modern microcontrollers.
  • Compact and lightweight design with integrated mounting hole for easy fixture.
  • High-value build offering a straightforward solution for binary temperature monitoring.

Applications

  • Over-temperature alarm and cutoff systems in electronic enclosures.
  • Simple thermostat control for fans, heaters, or cooling systems in DIY projects.
  • Environmental monitoring within prototype IoT devices and data loggers.
  • Basic temperature threshold detection in educational electronics kits.
  • Temperature-activated switch for aquarium, terrarium, or hydroponic systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this temperature sensor module?

The module operates from 3.3V to 5V DC, making it directly compatible with most common microcontroller platforms like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi (using 3.3V logic) without requiring a level shifter.

How do I adjust the temperature detection threshold?

The detection threshold is adjusted using the onboard blue potentiometer. Rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise to change the trip point where the digital output switches from low to high within the sensor's -25°C to +80°C range.

What does the digital output (DO) pin signal indicate?

The DO pin provides a clean digital signal (0V or VCC). It outputs a high level (logic 1) when the ambient temperature exceeds the set threshold and a low level (logic 0) when the temperature is below the threshold, as indicated by the onboard LED.

Can this module directly drive a relay or a fan?

The DO pin can source or sink more than 15mA, which is sufficient to drive a small relay module or transistor directly. For higher current loads like motors or fans, it is recommended to use the module's output to control a relay or a MOSFET.
