A waterproof DS18B20 digital temperature sensor kit with everything you need to connect to an Arduino. The stainless steel probe measures temperatures from -55°C to +125°C over a 1-Wire interface, requiring just one digital pin for communication. Multiple sensors can share the same data pin thanks to unique 64-bit IDs.
The kit includes a terminal sensor adapter for easy plug-and-play connection to Arduino — no breadboard wiring required.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 1-Wire
- 1-Wire is a communication method where devices share a single data line, often with each device having its own address. It matters because several temperature modules can be connected to one microcontroller pin instead of needing a separate pin for each probe.
- DS18B20
- The DS18B20 is a common digital temperature sensor, often supplied in a waterproof stainless-steel probe, that sends its readings to a microcontroller over a 1-Wire connection. It is a typical choice for adding temperature data to environmental or water-monitoring projects.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- VCC
- VCC is the positive power-supply connection on a chip or module. Connecting it to the correct supply voltage is needed for the part to power on and helps avoid damaging the electronics.
