Unlike digital sensors that require complex libraries to decode signals, the LM35 outputs a straightforward analog voltage that is strictly proportional to the ambient Celsius temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable at Tomson Electronics, this module comes pre-mounted on a convenient breakout board with a standard 3-pin interface, making it incredibly easy to wire up to an Arduino, ESP32, or any microcontroller with an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter). It boasts a linear scale factor of +10mV per degree Celsius and is calibrated directly in Celsius, eliminating the need to strip away large constant voltages from the output to obtain accurate readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeople also search for:\u003c\/strong\u003e lm35 module, analog temperature sensor, arduino temp sensor, lm35dz, linear temperature ic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor IC:\u003c\/strong\u003e LM35 (Typically LM35DZ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Analog Voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4V to 30V DC (5V recommended for microcontrollers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0°C to 100°C (Module typical range)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinear Scale Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e +10mV \/ °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e ±0.5°C (at +25°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePinout:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 Pins (VCC, GND, OUT\/Signal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eApplications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironmental Monitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creating indoor climate logging stations to track room temperatures over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIY Aquarium Monitors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Building custom temperature tracking systems for sensitive freshwater aquascapes and shrimp colonies (note: the PCB must be housed outside the water or appropriately waterproofed).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermal Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e Triggering a relay to turn on an EC cooling fan when an electronics enclosure or server rack exceeds a specific temperature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Prototyping:\u003c\/strong\u003e An excellent introductory sensor for teaching students how to read analog voltages and perform basic data conversion in code.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need a specific library to use this with my Arduino?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No! Because the LM35 outputs a simple analog voltage, you do not need any specialized libraries. You can read the pin using a basic \u003ccode\u003eanalogRead()\u003c\/code\u003e function and convert the voltage to temperature with simple math. For a 5V Arduino, the formula is generally: \u003ccode\u003eTemperature = (analogRead(A0) * (5.0 \/ 1023.0)) * 100;\u003c\/code\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this sensor to measure negative temperatures (below 0°C)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: While the bare LM35 IC is technically capable of measuring negative temperatures (down to -55°C), it requires a specific negative voltage biasing circuit. This basic 3-pin module configuration is designed for single-supply positive voltage, so it is meant to read from 0°C upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this sensor waterproof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No. The LM35 IC is exposed, and the PCB components will short out if submerged. If you need a waterproof temperature sensor for liquid submersion, you should look into a sealed probe like the DS18B20.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × LM35 Analog Temperature Sensor Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48364885934318,"sku":"SEN-06830","price":149.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2132\/9029\/files\/LM35D-Analog-Temperature-Sensor-Module.webp?v=1784716018","url":"https:\/\/www.tomsonelectronics.com\/products\/lm35-temperature-sensor-module-analog","provider":"Tomson Electronics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
