TAG-CONNECT IN-CIRCUIT CABLE LEGGED VERSION
- 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
Overview
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 resistors) which means you can locate the footprint right next to the MCU if desired.

Additional Information
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.
