DS18B20+ Overview

It is for safety reasons that these analog sensors are packaged in the Bulk. Analog sensors are protected from damage by TO-226-3, TO-92-3 (TO-226AA) packages. There are 3 pins on this sensor for proper operation. There are 3 terminations in this electronic part. Analog sensors can supply 1.5mA of current when they operate. Ideally, this sensor should supply a DC voltage of 5.5V. The minimum DC voltage supplied by this magnetic switch is 3V. The sensor can work with 1mA current nominally. It is recommended that the sensor's current output be set to 4mA for optimum performance.
