    Default cheap ds18b20's, are they legit??

    I bought 10 of these, and the price is un-beatable (if you can wait for delivery from hong kong)

    BUT I can't help but wonder if they are genuine or knock-off's.
    What do you all think? The price is amazingly low.

    They do all work but I'm not sure they all show the exact same temperature... I need to work out code where I could place them all in a line on one wire and read them sequentially using the addressing feature. Right now I have to pick them up with a pair of pliers and put them in the bread board to read them.

    Could it be that they are seconds??

    just wondering...
