The DS9098P iButton Retainer is a low-cost, surface- mount device to secure an F5 iButton on a printed circuit board. It consists of three metal pieces (two for ground, one for data) molded into a body of black, heat- stabilized, glass fiber 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. Avoid applying excess force to latches.
