CJMCU-TEMT6000 Light Intensity Sensor Module Lux Analog Phototransistor

TEMT6000 Light Intensity Sensor Module

CJMCU-TEMT6000 module is a precise NPN phototransistor that responds linearly to visible light intensity. Thanks to its small size, it is ideal for compact electronic projects. The device produces an analog signal at the output, which makes it easy to read with ADC converters. The module is an excellent choice for Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi systems.

Key technical features

The sensor offers a wide measurement range from 1 to 1000 Lux and a 60° field of view. Power supply in the 3 - 5 V DC range makes it versatile and easy to use. The module is designed for demanding conditions, operating from -40 to 85°C. The kit includes gold pin headers for self-soldering.
