The Touch and Hold Probe is designed to accept the iButton - in its plastic fob - and hold it for as long as is necessary (eg, prolonged reading processes or continuous reading and writing). Made of three ABS injection-moulded held together with SS screws and nuts. An iButton is inserted through the opening of the probe, and is clamped by a spring across its diameter - clamping action is firm and positive, designed to withstand harsh conditions/vibrations such as those in moving vehicles and heavy equipment. A second specially-designed spring is inserted from the top of the housing and held in place by a T-shaped cover: this spring makes contact with the data surface of the iButton and it has a small hole at the back onto which the data wire is soldered.
