DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor – Product Description
The DS18B20 Temperature Sensor is a high-accuracy digital temperature sensing module designed for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32, and other microcontroller projects. Using a simple 1-Wire communication interface, the sensor requires only a single data pin for communication, making wiring and integration easy. Each DS18B20 sensor contains a unique 64-bit serial code, allowing multiple sensors to operate on the same data line.
With a wide temperature measurement range of -55°C to +125°C and accuracy of ±0.5°C between -10°C and +85°C, the DS18B20 is ideal for weather stations, industrial monitoring, home automation, HVAC systems, aquariums, greenhouses, and temperature-controlled projects. The waterproof probe version features a stainless-steel housing for reliable operation in wet or harsh environments.
