TC2050-IDC

Tag-Connect’s TC2050-IDC Plug-of-Nails™ cable is a 10-conductor cable fitted with a spring-pin Tag-Connector that conveniently plugs directly into your PCB and terminates in a 0.1” ribbon connector.

• Plugs straight to your PCB - No mating connector or header required!
• Requires only a tiny footprint of pads and locating holes in your PCB.
• Zero Cost Per Board! Tiny Footprint!
• High-Reliability Spring-Pins make a Secure Connection and are rated for over 100,000 operations Footprint has no height and can reduce the size and space requirements of your PCB.
• A great way to make test and debug signals available at no cost and with minimal board space. Tag-Connect cables provide a simple, reliable means of connecting Debuggers and Programmers or other test equipment to your PCB’s while lowering board costs and facilitating efficient production programming.
• Tag-Connect uses a patented specially designed connector which eliminates the need for putting a programming header or other mating connector on every PCB.
• Instead, Tag-Connect uses tried and tested spring-pins rated for over 100,000 operations to make a secure connection to a special footprint pattern of pads and locating holes in your PCB.
• The legged version footprint takes about the same board space as two or three SMT resistors which means you can locate the footprint right next to the MCU if desired.
• This 10-conductor cable has a TC2050 Tag-Connector on one end and a standard 0.1” ribbon connector on the other and is suitable for use with most many MCU’s / FPGA’s and JTAG programming and debug operations.

A growing range of adaptor cables are available for use with various applications, such as ARM MCU's, Xilinx SPARTAN and VERTEX FPGA’s, TI MSP430 (TC2050-IDC-430) and Renesas MCU's compatible with E1/E8a debuggers.
