TEMT6000 Light Sensor Module

Human-Eye Spectral Sensitivity: Incorporates an NPN TEMT6000 silicon phototransistor engineered to mimic human visual perception across a 390 nm - 700 nm peak spectrum.

Linear Analog Output Telemetry: Delivers a continuous analog voltage signal directly proportional to ambient illuminance levels, simplifying ADC readings on microcontrollers.

Compact Breakout Board Design: Compact PCB layout equipped with a standard 0.1'' (2.54 mm) 3-pin header (VCC, GND, OUT) for quick breadboard prototyping.

Wide Operating Voltage Range: Functions reliably across 3.3V - 5.0V power rails, enabling direct compatibility with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.

High Ambient Noise Rejection: Superior IR rejection and high photo-responsiveness ensure accurate indoor and outdoor ambient light mapping without non-visible spectrum interference.

Housing & Board Material: High-grade FR-4 glass-epoxy PCB with gold/tin-plated contact pads and surface-mount TEMT6000 sensor IC.

Technical Specifications:

Peak Sensitivity Wavelength: 570 nm (390 nm - 700 nm visible spectrum).

Operating Voltage: 3.3V - 5.0V DC.

Output Signal: Linear Analog Voltage.

Color: Purple PCB with Gold-Plated Terminals.

Usage Advice: Connect VCC (3.3 V-5V), GND, and OUT to an analog ADC input pin on your microcontroller; orient the sensor top toward the ambient light source.

Maintenance: Keep the optical surface of the TEMT6000 phototransistor clean and free of dust or fingerprints; gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth if dirty.

Essential Human-Centric Light Transducer: Position as a top-grade ambient light sensor for smart display backlight dimming, room occupancy sensing, solar tracking, and automated nightlights.

Highlight Human-Eye Matching Accuracy: Emphasize how spectral sensitivity tuned to the human eye produces more natural brightness control compared to raw photoresistors (LDRs).

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with LilyPad Light Sensor TEMT6000, GY-30 BH1750FVI Digital Light Intensity Illumination Sensor Module, OPT3001 Ambient Light Sensor, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
