DS18B20 Waterproof Temperature Sensor 3 Wire 100cm
The DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor is a highly reliable digital thermometer that communicates using a 1-Wire interface, allowing multiple sensors to be connected using only a single data line. It provides precise temperature readings with programmable resolution, making it ideal for applications where accurate and stable measurements are required. The waterproof stainless-steel probe and long cable (typically 1 meter) make it suitable for harsh environments such as liquids, outdoor setups, and humid conditions.
This sensor operates over a wide temperature range and can be powered either externally or directly from the data line (parasite power mode), reducing wiring complexity. Each sensor has a unique 64-bit serial code, enabling multiple sensors to work on the same bus without conflict. Due to its robustness and ease of integration with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, it is widely used in IoT systems, home automation, and industrial monitoring solutions.
