DS9100-C+

Specialized ICS Overview

The DS9100-C+ is a compact, two-piece all-metal receptacle designed for F5 MicroCan iButton devices. It accommodates approximately two-thirds of the MicroCan body, leaving one-third extending outward. The assembly includes the DS9100-A+ outer ground contact and the DS9100-C+ coiled spring center data contact. This configuration supports both momentary and dwelled reading modes, utilizing the outer ring to secure the can for continuous contact. Constructed from stainless steel with selective tin-lead plating, the probe withstands PCB reflow temperatures and offers over 10,000 insertion cycles without degradation.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• Compact two-piece all-metal receptacle for F5 MicroCan
• Supports momentary or dwelled iButton reading via coiled spring contact
• Withstands PCB solder reflow temperatures
• Stainless steel construction with selective tin-lead plating

Specialized ICS Applications

• iButton data transport
• PCB-mounted touch-and-hold probes

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify that the order includes the complete set: DS9100-A+ (outer contact), DS9100-B+ or DS9100-C+ (center contact), and the base unit. Confirm RoHS compliance status if lead-free requirements are strict, as the datasheet indicates the '+' suffix denotes lead-free/RoHS-compliant packaging.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select DS9100-C+ for applications requiring continuous 'touch and hold' data reading where the outer ring grips the MicroCan. Choose DS9100-B+ if only momentary contact is needed. Ensure PCB layout matches the specific center contact type selected, as copper cladding dimensions differ between cantilever and coiled spring variants.

Specialized ICS Part Context

The DS9100 series functions similarly to the DS9098 iButton retainer but allows partial insertion of the F5 MicroCan. The system relies on the interaction between the stiff springs of the DS9100A outer ring and the chosen center contact to establish reliable electrical connections to the can rim and lid.
