The DS9092 iButton Probe provides the electrical contact necessary for the transfer of data to and from

matches the circular rim of the iButton’s MicroCan package. Metal contacts resist wear and are easy to
keep clean.

contact of the standard reader has no moving parts, making this a more rugged interface for harsh
