iButtons

The iButton^® is a 16-millimeter computer chip with its own unique ID number enclosed in a stainless steel container. Each chip has its own unique ID number which is unaffected by magnetic fields, metal detectors, water and most common chemicals.

The steel button is rugged enough to withstand harsh outdoor environments and durable enough for a person to carry on their keychain.

You can drop it, step on it, scratch it or wear it swimming. The iButton is wear-tested for 10-year durability and can be reassigned quickly and securely. It is by far the best solution for both manufacturing and office environments.

TimePilot is an authorized iButton developer and sells only authentic iButtons manufactured by “Maxim Integrated, a California-based company. The iButton was invented by Dallas Semiconductor, which was acquired by Maxim in 2001. (That’s why iButton model numbers start with “DS.”)
