SENSOR MODULE GY-906 MLX90614 NON-CONTACT PRECISION INFRARED TEMPERATURE

Description:

The Sensor Module GY-906 MLX90614 is a non-contact precision infrared temperature sensor module. It is designed to measure the temperature of objects without physical contact, making it suitable for applications where contact-based temperature measurement is not desired or possible.

The module incorporates the MLX90614 sensor from Melexis, which utilizes infrared sensing technology to detect the thermal radiation emitted by objects. It is particularly effective in measuring the temperature of surfaces, liquids, or gases.

The MLX90614 sensor consists of an infrared-sensitive thermopile detector and an integrated signal processing circuit. It can accurately measure the infrared energy emitted by an object and convert it into an electrical signal proportional to the object's temperature.

The GY-906 module provides a convenient interface for integrating the MLX90614 sensor into electronic circuits. It typically includes a voltage regulator to provide a stable power supply and additional circuitry for communication with microcontrollers or other digital devices.

The module communicates with a microcontroller or other devices using the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol. It has SDA (Serial Data) and SCL (Serial Clock) pins for connecting to the I2C bus of the microcontroller.

Specifications:

• Measurement Range: The temperature measurement range of the module can vary depending on the specific model or version. Common ranges are from -40°C to +125°C or from -70°C to +380°C.
• Accuracy: The accuracy of the temperature measurements provided by the MLX90614 sensor is typically within ±0.5°C or better, depending on the model.
• Field of View (FOV): The module has a specific field of view that determines the area from which it can detect infrared radiation. The FOV can vary, but it is usually around 90 degrees.
• Response Time: The response time of the sensor module indicates how quickly it can provide temperature readings once the measurement is initiated. It is generally fast, typically within a few milliseconds.
• Emissivity Correction: The MLX90614 sensor allows for emissivity correction, which compensates for variations in the infrared radiation emitted by different materials or surfaces.
• Operating Voltage: The voltage range required to power the module is typically between 3.3V and 5V.
• Dimensions: The physical dimensions of the module can vary depending on the manufacturer or specific model.
