JustinPead/tempspike
The Tempspike board was designed to be a conductivity sensor for multiple pads in the event that some of them fail due to corrosion or seperation.

The TMP235A2DBZ is a temperature Sensor made by Texas Instruments in a SOT-23 package with 3 pins. -40℃~+150℃ 2.3V~5.5V ±1.2℃ SOT-23 Temperature Sensors ROHS.
PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (tinkerforge:TMP235, from Tinkerforge) and its footprint (Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. 8,090 are in stock at JLCPCB (part C2868808). 1 open-source board in 1 repository on GitHub use it.
