General Description

carrier that serves as an electronic registration number

for automatic identification. Data is transferred serially

gle data lead and a ground return. Every DS1990A is

factory lasered with a guaranteed unique 64-bit regis-

tration number that allows for absolute traceability. The

durable stainless-steel iButton package is highly resis-

tant to environmental hazards such as dirt, moisture,

and shock. Its compact coin-shaped profile is self-

aligning with mating receptacles, allowing the DS1990A

to be used easily by human operators. Accessories

enable the DS1990A iButton to be mounted on almost

any object, including containers, pallets, and bags.
