1. Power supply range: 3.0V to 5.5V.
2. Operating temperature range: -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F).
3. Accuracy over the range of -10°C to +85°C: ±0.5°C.
4. No other components, uses 1-Wire Bus
5. TO-92 case or in encapsulated in stainless steel tube.
6. Output lead: red (VCC), yellow(DATA) , black(GND).

Each DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple DS18B20s to function on the same 1-Wire bus

The readings from 3 devices thermally tied together are very stable and close to each other:
