I wanted to know if there was any difference in specifications (i.e. temperature range, etc.) between the blue and red TMP006 temperature sensors. I also found a noticeable price difference in these sensors and wanted to know the reason for this.

Here is the link for the blue TMP006 sensor that I found online: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1296

Here is the link for the red TMP006 sensor that I found online: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11859

Thank you

I see no difference. Check to see whichever is cheaper with shipping and order what you need. The boards/chips are the same. Did you see that despite it not being a contact sensor, for any degree of accuracy you have to have the chip very close to its target? The adafruit website had a great video detailing this and the need to make a polished metal aperture to gain better results.
