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)

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.
