The OW-Temp-BF-12 temperature sensor is designed for general-purpose, wide temperature range applications. It is constructed of 8-18 Stainless Steel for durability and is adhesive backed for attachment to flat surfaces or pipes. The foil temperature sensor has good chemical resistance properties to acids, alkalis, ketones, esters, aliphatics, aromatics, and outdoor exposure.
The cable used on this sensor is a highly durable and flexible cable, which uses Teflon based materials for both the outer jacket and inner conductor insulation. This cable is particularly suited for harsh environments, and offers excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, oil, gasoline, and sunlight exposure.
The foil temperature sensor is manufactured using a special process that insures the internal sensor is thermally coupled to the foil wall; this helps insure rapid sensor response to changing conditions.
The OW-Temp-BF-12 sensor is supplied standard with stranded Teflon cable with stripped leads. Pin outs are as follows:
| White | 1-Wire return |
| Blue | 1-Wire data |
| Orange | Ext. Power (VDD) |
Please note that if you choose to operate the sensor in parasitically powered mode, you must connect the Vdd and GND lines together, per the DS18x20 specifications.
The foil temperature sensor is directly compatible with all 1-Wire bus masters.
