The 55 DS18B20 Temperature Sensor is an accurate digital sensor that uses the 1-Wire interface. This interface allows multiple temperature sensors to be placed on the same data line, ultimately lowering the manufacturer’s costs due to reduced wiring. The sensor’s ability to afford real time temperature data make it one of the most valuable sensors in the temperature monitoring industry for climate control applications, refrigeration monitoring, & medical applications. The size of the sensor also allows for easy integration into other engineering systems. Finally, the 55 DS18B20 is built for long-term functionality meaning once placed into an engineering system it does not require regular recalibrations. As the industry continues to integrate data into more systems the need for accurate temperature data becomes even more critical. The 55 DS18B20 fulfills the needs of the industry and allows the industry to better integrate into competitive markets.
