Mitsumi MMS701 Infrared Temperature Sensors

Mitsumi MMS701 Infrared Temperature Sensors employ MEMS thermopile technology to measure object surface temperatures without physical contact. The sensors capture infrared radiation from the target and supply an ambient-compensated digital temperature value via an I2C interface. Each device can also measure its internal sensor temperature.

The Mitsumi MMS701 features normal-temperature measurement and low-noise performance, enabling the detection of small temperature differences, while proprietary calibration technology delivers accurate temperature readings. An integrated connector simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a dedicated sensor board.
