I've soldered a few of the Dallas iButtons DS2401X1 (CSP: chip scale package)
parts to circuit boards and I have to tell you...this job is best left to
machines.  The parts are smaller than 0402 resistors! When prototyping, it's
much easier to use larger packages such as an 8-pin TSOC or the TO-92
equivalents.
Check out the photo. (if the list server will allow it to be attached.)
