LM35D Analog Temperature Sensor (D88)
Easy-to-Use LM35D Analog Temperature SensorReliable and Accurate Temperature Sensing
The LM35D analog temperature sensor is a precision device designed for simple and accurate temperature measurements. It is ideal for hobbyists, students, and anyone needing straightforward temperature sensing in DIY projects, home automation, or electronics experiments.
Main Features of the LM35 Temperature Sensor
- Calibrated Directly in Celsius (Centigrade): No conversion needed—easy to read and use.
- Linear Output: +10.0 mV/°C scale factor makes it simple to work with and understand.
- Accurate Measurements: Provides 0.5°C accuracy at room temperature (+25°C).
- Wide Measurement Range: Detects temperatures from −55°C to +150°C.
- Low Power Consumption: Less than 60 μA current drain allows for long battery life.
- Low Self-Heating: Only 0.08°C rise in still air, ensuring trustable readings.
Why Choose the LM35D Analog Temperature Sensor?
Unlike many digital sensors, the LM35D provides a simple voltage output that is directly proportional to the Centigrade temperature. This means there are no complicated calculations—just connect and measure! As the temperature moves from 0°C to 100°C, the output voltage smoothly goes from 0 to 1 volt.
The 3-lead TO-92 plastic case is easy to handle and fits easily into most circuit boards or breadboards. It's a perfect match for use with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi (with an analog-to-digital converter), or even as a standalone thermometer using a digital multimeter.
