Contact Memory Buttons (CMBs) are a battery-free read/write electronic data storage technology designed to perform in extreme operating environments associated with military, aerospace, utility, transportation and industrial applications. CMBs enhance configuration management, asset tracking, inspection and maintenance functions throughout the service life of the asset to which the media is attached. In addition to exceptional durability, CMBs offer the potential to improve productivity by eliminating or reducing the time and inconvenience associated with accessing a central database. Data stored on the CMB retrieved by momentary contact using a probe and can be viewed and updated on site.

ButtonMemory brand CMBs from MacSema, Inc. have been tested to rugged military specifications including the applicable requirements of MIL STD-810F. Environmental test parameters include exposure to temperature extremes, shock, vibration, radiation, electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP). The technology is available in a variety of physical sizes with memory capacities up to 512MB.
