TC2030-IDC · 6-Pin Debug Cable for MCU Programming

Product information "TC2030-IDC · 6-Pin Debug Cable for MCU Programming"

Short description

6-pin Plug-of-Nails™ cable, legged, with a 6-pin 2.54 mm (0.1″) ribbon connector to the host. Snaps directly into a tiny PCB footprint — no mating connector needed on the target board.

Connections

Side Pins Connector Pitch
Board (Tag-Connect) 6 Footprint TC2030, with Legs 1.27 mm (0.05″)
Debugger 6 Socket, 2 × 3 2.54 mm (0.1″)

Pin assignment: contact n is on connector pin n — the cable is wired straight through.

Compatible: programmers with a 6-pin 2.54 mm pin header, and target boards carrying one.

Not, or not directly, compatible

  • 6-pin, single row, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — Microchip PICkit 3/4/5: TC2030-PKT

  • 20-pin, 2 × 10, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — ARM connector, e.g. SEGGER J-Link, Keil ULINK, ST-LINK/V2: through the adapter board COLL-ARM20-06-IDC, ARM20-CTX
  • 10-pin, 2 × 5, 1.27 mm (0.05″) — Cortex connector, e.g. Keil ULINK2: TC2030-CTX
  • 10-pin, 2 × 5, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — e.g. PEmicro Multilink, USB-Blaster: TC2030-ALT
  • 12-pin — Lattice HW-USBN-2B: through the adapter board TC-LATTICE
  • 14-pin, 2 × 7, 1.27 mm (0.05″) — STDC14, e.g. ST-LINK V3: TC2030-CTX-STDC14
  • 14-pin, 2 × 7, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — Renesas E1 / E2 / E8a / E20: through the adapter board TC-RENESAS
  • 20-pin, 2 × 10, 1.27 mm (0.05″) — Cortex with trace, e.g. Keil ULINK Pro: TC2030-CTX-20

Application

Programming Atmel AVR controllers, numerous Renesas MCUs (via the TC-Renesas adapter), and Zilog devices. Also used for SPI, I²C, RS232 signal access and general test connections.

Technical data

  • Version: legged

In use with these devices

ST-LINK/V2 and ST-LINK V3 SET (STM32, SWD) · Segger J-LINK (ARM Cortex, SWD/cJTAG) · PEmicro Multilink/Cyclone (ARM Cortex, SWD) · Atmel AVRISP mk.II (AVR, SPI/PDI/debugWIRE) · Xilinx Platform Cable, Digilent JTAG-HS2/HS3, Lattice HW-USBN-2B (JTAG) · Renesas E1/E2/E8a/E20 (SWD)

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.

Variants

TC2030-IDC-NL — same function, no legs, footprint about the size of an 0805 SMT resistor. TC2030-IDC-10 — 254 mm (10″) cable instead of standard length.

Bauform: IDC-Kabelende, Legged
