TC2030-PKT-NL · Cable for Microchip PICkit

Product information "TC2030-PKT-NL · Cable for Microchip PICkit"

Short description

Connects a 6-pin Plug-of-Nails™ target (no legs) to Microchip's PICkit 3/4/5 — through a single-row 6-pin header on 2.54 mm (0.1″). Footprint barely bigger than an SMT resistor.

Connections

Side Pins Connector Pitch
Board (Tag-Connect) 6 Footprint TC2030, no Legs 1.27 mm (0.05″)
Debugger 6 Single-row pin header PICkit, 1 × 6 2.54 mm (0.1″)

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

Compatible: Microchip PICkit 3, PICkit 4 and PICkit 5 — the single-row socket in the device head.

Not, or not directly, compatible

  • 6-pin, 2 × 3, 2.54 mm (0.1″): TC2030-IDC-NL
  • RJ12 socket (6P6C) — Microchip ICD 3, ICD 4, PICkit 3, PM3: TC2030-MCP-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

Application

Primarily intended for production programming with brief contact time. Compatible with the legged TC2030-PKT footprint — develop with the legged variant, produce with this no-legs variant. For debugging, combine with the TC2030-CLIP clip. Terminates in a 6-pin 2.54 mm (0.1″) male SIP header.

In use with these devices

Microchip PICkit 3 · Microchip PICkit 4/SNAP · Microchip PICkit 5 · 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.

Variants

TC2030-PKT — legged version.

Bauform: NL (No Legs)

Pin assignment

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

Contact n sits on pin n. The signal names are Microchip ICSP.

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