The DS9098P-TRL+ is an iButton Retainer. The iButton retainer is a low cost, surface mount device to secure an F5 iButton on a PCB. It consists of three metal pieces (two for ground, one for data) moulded into a body of black, heat-stabilized, glass fibre reinforced liquid crystal polymer. When inserting an iButton into the DS9098P, closely align axis of the iButton and the retainer. The retainer then latches the flange of the iButton. At removal, limit deflection of retainer latches to just free the iButton edge from retained state.
● Stainless steel with selective 100% matte tin plating contacts
● Retainer to iButton connection is stainless steel to stainless steel
● Withstands up to +250°C for surface mounting
● Double redundancy of contacts (2 plus 2)
● Contact force exceeds 2N for reliable connection
● Prevents reversed insertion
● Gentle deflection of latches allows removal of the iButton
● Greater than 25 insertion/withdrawal cycles with no performance degradation
