TC2030-MCP-NL-10 · RJ12 Cable, No Legs, 254 mm (10″)

Product information "TC2030-MCP-NL-10 · RJ12 Cable, No Legs, 254 mm (10″)"

Short description

Like TC2030-MCP-NL — six contacts on the board, RJ12 modular plug at the programmer — but 254 mm (10″) instead of the standard length.

Connections

Side Pins Connector Pitch
Board (Tag-Connect) 6 Footprint TC2030, no Legs 1.27 mm (0.05″)
Debugger 6 Modular plug RJ12 (6P6C) —

Pin assignment: mirrored — contact 1 on pin 6, contact 6 on pin 1 — the full table is in the "Technical data" tab. Assignment measured by us — not yet documented by the manufacturer.

Compatible: Microchip programmers with an RJ12 socket — ICD 3, ICD 4, PICkit 3, PM3.

Not, or not directly, compatible

  • 6-pin, 2 × 3, 2.54 mm (0.1″): TC2030-IDC-NL
  • 6-pin, single row, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — Microchip PICkit 3/4/5: TC2030-PKT-NL
  • 10-pin, 2 × 5, 1.27 mm (0.05″) — Cortex connector, e.g. Keil ULINK2: TC2030-CTX-NL
  • 10-pin, 2 × 5, 2.54 mm (0.1″) — e.g. PEmicro Multilink, USB-Blaster: TC2030-ALT-NL
  • 14-pin, 2 × 7, 1.27 mm (0.05″) — STDC14, e.g. ST-LINK V3: TC2030-CTX-NL-STDC14
  • 20-pin, 2 × 10, 1.27 mm (0.05″) — Cortex with trace, e.g. Keil ULINK Pro: TC2030-CTX-20-NL

Easily confused: Check your device for a telephone-style socket.

Important note

254 mm (10″) exceeds Microchip's specified maximum cable length of approx. 200 mm (8″) — officially not supported by Microchip, though per Tag-Connect it hasn't caused known problems in practice. The small TC2030 footprint usually allows the ICD connection to be placed right at the MCU rather than routing long traces out to the connector.

In use with these devices

Microchip ICD4 · Microchip ICD 3 · CCS Programmers · Targets: Microchip PIC, PIC32, dsPIC (PIC ICD/ICSP)

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.

Bauform: NL (No Legs)

Pin assignment

RJ12 Signal TC2030
1 NC / LVP 6
2 PGC (ICSPCLK) 5
3 PGD (ICSPDAT) 4
4 GND 3
5 VDD 2
6 MCLR / VPP 1

The order is mirrored: contact 1 of the footprint sits on pin 6 of the modular plug. The signals are Microchip ICSP — if you know the TC2030 footprint from the ARM world, note the difference: ground is on contact 3, not contact 5.

Assignment measured by us — not yet documented by the manufacturer. The measurement was taken on the TC2030-MCP; this article has the same cable internals.
