Part Number: TC2030 -MCP

Features

ZERO Cost per Board!

No mating connector required on PCB!

Tiny footprint!

High Reliability Pogo Spring Pins for Secure Connection!

Rugged Design for Highly Repetitive Use!

Designed so it can only be inserted the correct way round!

Two versions both designed to cut your costs, save you time, and save space on your PCBs

!

Tag-Connect Legged cable (TC2030 -MCP) works like this:

Three locating pins align the connector’s pins while four legs snap into the PCB holding it securely in place for a prolonged debugging

or programming session. The other end of the cable terminates in a 6P6C modular plug and connects directly to your debugger or

programmer.

Accessory:AC164111 PM3 ICSP RJ11 Adapter Buy Now

This adapter is designed to accommodate the transition from development to a production environment seamlessly. The adapter plugs

into the 14-pin ICSP Insulation Displacement header on the MPLAB PM3 Programmer and provides an interface to which an RJ11 cable

assembly (which is common to debugging environments) can be used. The RJ11 interface is the de-facto standard on most Microchip

demonstration boards. Additionally, the adapter facilitates automation and program sequencing by providing a header footprint with

PASS/FAIL and GO signals and LED indicators useful to programming line operators.

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 100,000 operations to make a

secure connection to a special footprint

pattern of pads and locating holes on your

PCB. The footprint can take up as little

board space as 0.02 square inches (about

the space needed for a couple of 0805 SMT

resisitors) which means you can locate the

footprint right next to the MCU if desired.
