Product information "TC2050-IDC-NL-430 · Cable for TI MSP-FET430"

Short description

10-contact spring-pin cable, no Legs, for TI's MSP-FET430 debugger and its 14-pin 2.54 mm (0.1″) connector, compatible with all MSP430 microcontrollers.

Connections

Side Pins Connector Pitch
Board (Tag-Connect) 10 Footprint TC2050, no Legs 1.27 mm (0.05″)
Debugger 14 Socket TI MSP-FET430, 2 × 7 2.54 mm (0.1″)

Pin assignment: contacts 1–9 on pins 1–9, contact 10 on pin 11 — the full table is in the "Technical data" tab. Assignment measured by us — not yet documented by the manufacturer.

Compatible: TI MSP-FET430 in JTAG and Spy-Bi-Wire mode.

Not, or not directly, compatible

Technical data

  • PCB footprint: 0.03 sq. in.
  • Spring pins: rated for over 100,000 operations
  • Version: no legs

In use with these devices

TI MSP-FET430 debugger · all MSP430 microcontrollers (JTAG or SPY-BI-WIRE)

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.

Note

Optional fixation with a TC2050-CLIP board. For self-securing mounting, use the legged variant TC2050-IDC-430.

Variants

TC2050-IDC-430 — legged. TC2030-MCP-NL — 6-pin alternative, smaller footprint. TC2050-IDC-NL — standard 10-pin version.

Bauform: IDC-Kabelende, NL (No Legs)
