Tag-Connect™ replacement debug/programming cables save cost and space on every board!
Note: The 10-pin male connectors on the Atmel-ICE have reversed (non-standard) pin numbering. For Atmel-ICE you should purchase the LEMTA version of our cables, as shown below, which have the 10-pin ribbon connector fitted backwards which corrects for the Atmel-ICE pin numbering reversal. (Atmel ICE comes supplied with a ribbon cable fitted with two 10-pin IDC connectors and a 6-pin single-in-line SIP connector – The 10-pin connector at the Atmel ICE end is reversed but the other is not, correcting the pin-numbering at the target PCB. Our LEMTA cables similarly have a reversed connector).
1. 10-pin solution for Atmel-ICE AVR devices using JTAG, SPI, TPI, PDI, aWire or debugWire
Connect the TC2050-IDC(-NL)-050-ALL IDC connector to the AVR connector (right) on the Atmel-ICE. All 10 pins are connected through to the target board. This allows programming/debug via JTAG, SPI, TPI, PDI, aWire or debugWire.

Cortex 10 Pin/SAM LEMTA to 6 Pin Plug-of-Nails™ - No Legs
PCB End: 6 Pin Plug-of-Nails™ No Legs
Debug End: 10 Pin IDC 0.05" Female (Mates with FTSH)
6-Pin "No Legs" TC2030 Plug-of-Nails™ programming cable for use with ARM Cortex processors.
This special cable has a 6-pin TC2030-NL Tag-Connector and a 10-pin ribbon connector that mates with the FTSH-105 style micro-headers used for Cortex Debug as found in debuggers such as Keil's ULINK-2.
The footprint for the TC2030-CTX-NL Plug-of-Nails™ Connector saves over 66% of the PCB space used by typical FTSH-105 style micro-headers!
Please refer to the TC2030-IDC-NL datasheet below for details of the TC2030-NL footprint.
You may also want to purchase a couple of TC2030-CLIP boards which will hold this cable in place for hands-free programming and debugging.
See also the TC2030-CTX "Legged" version of the cable.
For traditional ARM JTAG solutions using the 20-pin header as found on Segger's J-LINK see our TC2050-ARM2010 adapter used with TC2050-IDC (-NL) cables.
WARNING for ATMEL-ICE users: The Atmel-ICE has it's header pin numbers reversed (standard pin 1 is Atmel-ICE's pin 10). To use our cable with Atmel's reversed pin-number header you'll either need to cut off the ribbon connector locating lug and plug it in backwards, or select the LEMTA option below to order with the 10-pin ribbon connector fitted backwards. If you plug in a standard (correct) Cortex cable you're going to short power and stuff out.Note: Cable only supplied, Keil's ULINK2 debugger and Tag-Connect Demo PCB and additional Legged Cable are shown for illustrative use only - not included with the cable!
