Overview

The T6613-5K is a Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) Carbon Dioxide sensor module designed for high-accuracy measurement within a 0 to 5000 ppm range. It features a compact form factor and supports multiple communication protocols including UART, I2C, and a 0V to 4V analog output for flexible system integration.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor utilizes Amphenol's patented ABC Logic (Automatic Background Calibration) algorithm, which eliminates the need for manual calibration in most applications. Its dual-channel NDIR design ensures long-term stability and maintains an accuracy of plus-minus 5% over its 0 to 50 degree Celsius operating range.

Applications

Demand Controlled Ventilation
Optimizing HVAC energy efficiency by adjusting fresh air intake based on real-time occupancy levels in commercial buildings.
Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Integrating into smart home devices and air purifiers to track and report CO2 levels for occupant health.
Greenhouse Climate Control
Managing CO2 enrichment processes in agricultural environments to maximize plant growth and yield.

Key Specifications

Type Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Output 0 V ~ 4 V
Accuracy +/-5%
Voltage - Supply 5VDC
Operating Temperature 0degC ~ 50degC

Getting Started

Connect the module to a 5VDC power source capable of handling 180mA peak currents. For rapid prototyping, interface the UART pins with a 3.3V or 5V microcontroller like an Arduino or ESP32 to read ppm values directly via serial commands.

Also Consider

SCD30 SENSensirion AG - Offers integrated temperature and humidity sensing alongside NDIR CO2 measurement in a smaller surface-mount package.
