Product features

High-Precision VEML6070 UV Sensor IC: Integrates Vishay's advanced VEML6070 CMOS ultraviolet light sensor to deliver accurate UVA radiation detection.

I²C Digital Telemetry: Features a standard two-wire I²C serial bus interface with direct digital output, eliminating external ADC circuitry and signal conditioning.

Solar UV Index Auditing: Optimized to measure solar ultraviolet radiation intensity (320 nm - 400 nm UVA spectrum) for reliable UV index mapping and sun exposure tracking.

Integrated Software Shutdown Mode: Supports software-controlled power-down mode to reduce power consumption down to <1µA in battery-operated IoT nodes.

Compact GY-6070 Breakout Layout: Compact PCB design equipped with mounting holes and standard 0.1'' (2.54 mm) header pins for easy breadboard and PCB integration.

Materials and care

Housing & Board Material: High-grade FR-4 glass-epoxy PCB with gold/tin-plated contact pads and surface-mount VEML6070 IC sensor element.

Technical Specifications:

Operating Supply Voltage: 2.7V - 5.5V DC (onboard voltage regulation).

Peak Spectral Sensitivity: 355 nm (320 nm - 400 nm UVA spectrum).

Communication Interface: I²C Serial Interface.

Color: Purple PCB with Gold Contact Terminals.

Usage Advice: Connect VCC (2.7V-5.5V), GND, SCL, and SDA to your microcontroller I²C bus; ensure the optical window is positioned clear of dark or heavy protective covers.

Maintenance: Keep the optical surface of the sensor IC clean and free of dust, grease, or fingerprints; gently wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth when necessary.

Merchandising tips

Essential Digital Sunlight Monitor: Position as a top-grade UV radiation sensor for smart weather stations, wearable sun-exposure monitors, agricultural UV auditing, and solar research.

Highlight Direct Digital I²C Output: Emphasize how direct I²C communication simplifies software integration on Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi platforms compared to raw analog UV sensors.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with GY-ML8511 UV sensor module, S12SD Sunlight Ultraviolet Ray Intensity UV Sensor, ACEBOTT UV Sensor Module Easy-Plug for ESP32/Arduino, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.

Featured Collection Star: Display prominently on your Light Sensor Module collection page as your high-accuracy digital I²C UV sensor breakout board.
