TC2050-IDC-430

Tag-Connect’s TC2050-IDC-430 cable is a special version of the TC2050-IDC Plug-of-Nails™ cable designed to be plugged directly into TI’s MSP-FET430 and is compatible with all MSP430 MCU’s.

• The cable is fitted with a spring-pin Tag-Connector that conveniently plugs directly into your PCB and terminates in a 14-pin 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. Footprint MUCH smaller than the standard 14-pin ribbon header.
• Zero Cost Per Board!
• High-Reliability Spring-Pins make a Secure Connection and are rated for over 100,000 operations.
• Footprint has no height and reduces the size and space requirements of your PCB.
• 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 specially designed (Patent Pending) 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 14-pin ribbon connector on the other and is wired specifically for the TI MSP-FET430 debugger (and compatible MSP430 debuggers).
• It is compatible with all MSP430 MCU’s.
• See also TC2050-IDC-430 NL (no-legs) version with a tiny 0.03” footprint.

Also, if your MSP430 device supports SPY-BI-WIRE, take a look at the SPY-BI-TAG adaptor with the even smaller footprint TC2030-MCP 6-pin cables.
