Waterproof SMD DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensor

This waterproof SMD DS18B20 temperature sensor is a versatile tool designed to provide accurate temperature measurements with a configurable resolution ranging from 9 to 12 bits. It operates seamlessly over a 1-Wire bus, employing a single data line to enable efficient communication with a central microprocessor such as an Arduino. This setup is ideal for surface temperature monitoring, maintaining reliability even in moist conditions or when located at a considerable distance from the processor. The inclusion of silicon lead wires enhances its temperature resistance compared to standard PVC materials, ensuring durability and performance in various environments.

One of the standout features of the DS18B20 is its digital nature, which ensures that there's no loss of signal quality even when the sensor is deployed over long distances. Operating at a voltage range of 3 to 5.5 volts, it is well-suited for a wide array of projects. Each sensor boasts a unique 64-bit serial code, allowing the connection of multiple DS18B20 sensors to a single 1-Wire bus without conflict. This capability facilitates the use of a single microprocessor to manage numerous sensors spread across a large area, making it highly beneficial for applications such as HVAC environmental controls, temperature monitoring systems in buildings, and process monitoring and control systems for machinery and equipment.

Installation of this sensor is straightforward, with the option to connect it directly to an IO expansion board using our DFR0055 adapter, eliminating the need for any soldering. This simplifies the setup process, making it accessible for a wide range of users. Whether you're managing heating systems, monitoring refrigeration units, or overseeing an industrial process, this sensor provides the precision and reliability needed to keep things running smoothly, much like a dedicated team member quietly ensuring everything operates at peak efficiency.
