Seeed Studio Grove Infrared Temperature Sensor

The Seeed Studio Grove Infrared Temperature Sensor is a non-contact infrared temperature sensor with a 116-element thermopile array, supporting measurements from -10°C to 100°C with an accuracy of ±2°C.

Overview

The sensor uses a thermopile array arranged on a floating micro-membrane with a blackened surface to absorb incident thermal infrared radiation. This generates a corresponding voltage output, enabling temperature readings without physical contact with the target object. A zero-drift amplifier is incorporated to help minimise measurement errors over time and across varying environmental conditions.

Key Features

• Standard Grove connector system for plug-and-play compatibility with Seeed Studio development boards and shields
• Wide operating voltage range of 3.0V to 5.0V DC
• Ultra-low power consumption of less than 0.6mW
• Temperature measurement range of -10°C to +100°C
• Accuracy of ±2°C
• Nominal measurement distance of 9 cm
• Compact Grove module footprint of 20 mm x 40 mm

Applications

The module is designed for integration into a wide range of electronic projects. Its Grove connector removes the need for complex wiring or soldering, making it suitable for prototyping and educational purposes. The low power consumption makes it well suited to battery-powered and portable devices, and its compact footprint allows integration into space-constrained designs.
