ML8511 UVB Sensor Breakout Board
SKU 2846-GYML8511EAN 8219671099073Item type: AssembledSensors, Sensors
Description
Small breakout board based on the ML8511 ultraviolet light sensor. It can measure the intensity of UV rays from sunlight, lamps, or other sources with a wavelength between 280 nm and 390 nm. The sensor outputs an analog voltage that is linearly related to the measured UV intensity (mW/cm²).
Power supply: 3.3 VDC or 5 VDC, consumption: about 2 mA, dimensions (mm): 13.5×11.65×3. Suitable for UV testers, outdoor UV detectors, and germicidal lamp UV detectors.
Technical specifications
- Power supply:
– 5 VDC via GND and VIN pins
– 3.3 VDC via GND and 3V3 pins - PINOUT
– OUT: output voltage directly proportional to UV radiation intensity
– 3V3: 3.3 VDC power input
– EN: when set to logic level “0”, the module no longer detects UV radiation
