MAX31855 K type thermocouple module
Thermocouples are very sensitive, requiring a good amplifier with a cold-compensation reference. The MAX31855K does everything for you and can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller, even one without an analog input. This breakout board has the chip itself, a 3.3V regulator with 10uF bypass capacitors, and level shifting circuitry, all assembled and tested. Comes with a 2 pin terminal block (for connecting to the thermocouple) and pin header (to plug into any breadboard or perfboard).
Features:
- Works with any K type thermocouple
- Will not work with any other kind of thermocouple other than K type
- -200°C to +1350°C output in 0.25-degree increments – note that K thermocouples have about ±2°C to ±6°C accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this module with a 5 V microcontroller?
Yes. The on-board 3.3 V regulator and level-shifting circuitry let you power the module from 5 V and interface directly with 5 V logic pins.
How do I decode the SPI output?
The MAX31855 returns a 32-bit data word. Bits [31:18] contain the signed 14-bit thermocouple temperature in two’s complement format, which you can convert to °C at 0.25 °C resolution using a compatible library or simple bit-shifting code.
Does it handle cold-junction compensation?
Yes. The integrated MAX31855 chip automatically compensates for ambient junction temperature, delivering accurate thermocouple readings without external reference sensors.
