THERMO click
1. Introduction
THERMO Click™ is an accessory board in
mikroBUS^™ form factor. It’s a compact
solution for adding thermocouple to
your device. It features MAX31855K
thermocouple-to-digital converter as well as
PCC-SMP connector for K-type thermocouple
probes. THERMO Click™ communicates with
the target board via SPI interface (Read-only).
The board is designed to use 3.3V power
supply only. It has a LED diode (GREEN) that
indicates the presence of power supply.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board™, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

Turn the board upside down so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in both
soldering pad locations.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
4. Essential features
The combination of the MAX31855K and
PCC-SMP connector results in support for
high accuracy temperature measurement.
The MAX31855K has a temperature range
between -270 and 1372°C with sensitivity
of about 41μV/°C. It has a built-in 14-bit
ADC converter. All these features make this
board ideal for thermostatic, process-control,
monitoring applications and more.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.
