GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This product is a sealed plastic stick containing three
DS1921G iButtons
. The iButtons are connected in
parallel through metal plates that are spot-welded to
the IO and GND contact, respectively. Two stranded
wires protruding from the top end of the stick allow
for a 1-Wire
reader/write to make contact to the
iButtons for setup and data retrieval. Electrically, the
product is specified by the DS1921G data sheet, with
the proper scaling (e.g., current ×3, capacitance ×3).
The mechanical and thermal characteristics of the
module are specified in this document.
APPLICATIONS
Concrete Maturity Monitoring
TYPICAL OPERATING CIRCUIT
FEATURES

coded 18 AWG (1 mm ) stranded wires with
inch (1.3 cm) stripped ends
Electrically compatible to the DS1921G
Thermochron iButton (3 in parallel)
Sealed against liquid intrusion
Module position information stored in DS1921G
memory
