[wxsig] 1-wire stuff

[John Koster]

I'm looking at the iButton site and see that a lot of the button products
come in two different sized.  Anyone know if the trend is moving towards
the F3 package?  Any samples I have from years back are in the thicker F5
package.

Reason I'm asking is that in trying to find a PCB mounting clip for a temp
sensor I find that Maxim is the only one showing stock for the clip that
will hold the F5.  The F3 appears that it will fit the standard 16mm
battery clip which everyone has in stock for about 1/3 the price of the
Maxim part.

Anyone been down this road already and care to share?
