# Title: Tag-Connect TC-XILINX6-M Xilinx 14-pin to 6-pin Adapter ## Description: Tag-Connect TC-XILINX6-M Overview The Tag-Connect TC-XILINX6-M is designed to bridge a female 2mm 14-pin header, common on Xilinx programming cables like Digilent JTAG-HS2/HS3, to a standard 6-pin 0.1" (2.54mm) TC2030-IDC Plug-of-Nails™ header. This enables direct connection to compact “No Legs” and “With Legs” TC2030 cables for PCB programming, diagnostic access, or test point minimisation on high-density circuit boards. Main Applications Programming and debugging Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs using Digilent JTAG-HS2, HS3, and similar cables Ideal for boards requiring a minimal 6-pin Tag-Connect connector footprint Works with TC2030-IDC Plug-of-Nails™ cables (sold separately) Pinout Table TC2030 Pin Signal 1 VREF* 2 TMS / SS / PROG 3 TDI / MOSI / DIN 4 TCK / SCLK / CCLK 5 GND* 6 TDO / MISO / DONE Wiring Quick-Start Plug the TC-XILINX6-M adapter into the 2mm, 14-pin header on your Xilinx-compatible programmer cable. Attach your TC2030-IDC or TC2030-IDC-NL cable to the 6-pin 0.1” header on the adapter. Connect to the matching target PCB Tag-Connect footprint. Fits digital debugging and in-system programming applications for compact and production boards.

The TC-XILINX6-M is an adapter designed to be plugged into a Female 2mm 14-pin header found on programming cables for Xilinx such as Digilent JTAG-HS2, Digilent JTAG-HS2 and Digilent JTAG-HS3 and similar programmers.

Although primarily intended for use with our patented TC2030-IDC or TC2030-IDC-NL Plug‐of‐Nails™ Cables, this adapter may be useful to people wishing to use a 6‐pin 0.1” ribbon header on their PCB instead of the native 2mm 14-pin header.

For programmers such as Xilinx Platform Cable USB II DLC10 fitted with a male 14-pin header, see TC-XILINX6

Also see the similar TC2050-XILINX-M adapter solution that adapts to a 10-pin 0.1″ header for TC2050-IDC cables.

The Tag-Connect TC-XILINX6-M simplifies connecting Xilinx 14-pin 2mm programmer cables (like Digilent JTAG-HS2/HS3) to a minimal 6-pin footprint using the TC2030-IDC interface. Its primary role is for FPGA and CPLD in-system programming or debugging during design, prototype, or low-volume production. The adapter enables fast switching between boards without repeated cable insertions and minimises physical PCB footprint. It is part of the broader Tag-Connect line of programming accessories, alongside similar solutions such as the TC2050-XILINX-M (for 10-pin cables) and TC-XILINX6 (male version for USB II cables).
