The DS1986-F5 is a 192Kb Add-Only iButton Memory from Dallas Semiconductor (now Maxim Integrated). It is a rugged, button-shaped data carrier that can be easily attached to or embedded in an object. The 'Add-Only' feature means that once a bit is written to memory, it cannot be reset back to '0'.

Applications:

• Asset Tracking
• Work-in-Progress Tracking
• Access Control
• Electronic Identification
• Data Logging (where append-only data is required)

Features:

• 192Kb of EEPROM Memory
• Add-Only Memory: Once a bit is written, it cannot be reset.
• Unique Factory-Lasered 64-bit Registration Number: Ensures uniqueness and traceability.
• Durable Stainless Steel Case: Withstands harsh environments.
• iButton Interface: Communicates with a simple contact.
• Operating Temperature Range: Typically -40°C to +85°C.

Benefits:

• Tamper-Proof Data: Add-only memory prevents data modification or deletion, ensuring data integrity.
• Durable and Rugged: Stainless steel case protects the memory from harsh environments.
• Unique Identification: Factory-lasered registration number provides a unique identifier for each iButton.
• Easy to Use: Simple iButton interface simplifies integration with various systems.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of asset tracking and identification applications.
