ECV3-06-CTX · 6-pin Edge-Connect to Cortex-10

Product information "ECV3-06-CTX · 6-pin Edge-Connect to Cortex-10"

Short description

Edge-Connect™ cable with six contacts at the board edge, terminating in the ARM Cortex debug connector — the 10-pin 1.27 mm (0.05″) header carried by Keil ULINK2 and most Cortex debuggers.

Connections

Side Pins Connector Pitch
Board (Tag-Connect) 6 Edge contacts ECV3-06 (Edge-Connect™) 1.27 mm (0.05″)
Debugger 10 Socket Cortex-10 (FTSH-105 style), 2 × 5 1.27 mm (0.05″)

Full pin assignment: in the "Technical data" tab.

Compatible: Keil ULINK2, SEGGER J-Link and Atmel-ICE at the 10-pin 1.27 mm Cortex Debug connector (FTSH-105 style).

Not, or not directly, compatible

Easily confused: The 10-pin 2.54 mm box header looks similar — same pin count, twice the pitch. That is the most frequent mis-order.

Technical data

  • Protocol: SWD
  • Required on the target board: one non-plated locating hole

What you need it for

Edge-Connect places the contacts on the edge of the board rather than on its surface. The target board needs no mating connector at all — just the plated half-holes along the edge and one hole for location. That saves space and the cost of a component on every board you build.

Six contacts are enough for SWD. If you need JTAG or additional signals, use the 10-contact version.

The difference from the ECV3-06-IDC

Both cables have the same board side — the same six-contact edge pattern, the same locating hole. What differs is the other end: the ECV3-06-IDC carries a 6-pin 2.54 mm (0.1″) header, this one the 10-pin Cortex header on a 1.27 mm (0.05″) pitch.

So it is your debugger that decides, not your board. If in doubt, measure the pin spacing on your programmer: 2.54 mm means ECV3-06-IDC, 1.27 mm across ten pins means this cable.

In use with these devices

Cortex-10/MIPI-10 generic for ARM Cortex via SWD · ARM Keil ULINK2 · Cypress MiniProg 3 and 4 for PSoC · Atmel-ICE for SAM

What counts is the connector, not the device name: compare the connector on your device with the table above. If it carries a different one, the route goes through an adapter board.

Included

Cable with Edge-Connect™ connector and IDC header. The demo PCB shown in the manufacturer's photos is not included and is ordered separately.

Variants

ECV3-06-IDC — 6-pin 2.54 mm (0.1″) header. ECV3-06-CTX-STDC14 — for STLINK-V3 instead of Cortex-10. ECV3-10-IDC — ten contacts at the board edge.
