TC2030-MCP Datasheet PDF - Microchip

●The TC2030-MCP is a legged version Tag Connect cable that provide a simple, reliable means of connecting debuggers and programmers or other test equipment to PCB while lowering board costs and facilitating efficient production programming. Tag Connect uses a specially designed connector which eliminates the need for putting a programming header or other mating connector on every PCB. Instead, Tag Connect uses tried and tested spring pins rated for 100, 000 operations to make a secure connection to a special footprint pattern of pads and locating holes on PCB. The footprint can take up as little board space as 0.02 square inches which means we can locate the footprint right next to the MCU if desired. This cable uses high reliability spring pins which connect to a tiny footprint of pads and locating holes on your PCB. It has plastic legs that snap directly into the board to hold it securely in place saving both board space and the cost of a mating header component on every PCB.

● No mating connector required on PCB

● Tiny footprint

● High reliability pogo spring pins for secure connection

● Rugged design for highly repetitive use

● Designed so it can only be inserted the correct way round

● Two versions both designed to cut cost, save time and save space on PCBs

●Compatible with MPLAB REAL ICE, MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB ICD 2.
