Non-Contact Infrared
Temperature Sensor GY-906 ARD2-2190

• Detect temperatures between 70°C–380°C without


contact using infrared light
• Perfect for use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other
microcontrollers
• Internal 17-bit ADC
• PWM and TWI outputs
• Resolution down to 0.02°C (TWI output)

Description
A non-contact IR (infra-red) temperature sensor, capable of sensing between
70°C–380°C down to a resolution of 0.02°C. This module is based on the

Possible applications include: temperature sensing for residential,


commercial and industrial air conditioning; windshield defogging; home
appliances with temperature control; livestock monitoring; and automotive
blind angle detection.

Includes unsoldered 4-pin header.
