The TC2050-IDC-430 Legged Cable is a specialised programming and debugging solution for TI MSP430 microcontrollers. Designed to plug directly into the MSP-FET430 debugger, this cable offers seamless compatibility with all MSP430 MCUs.
Featuring Tag-Connect's innovative Plug-of-Nails™ technology, the TC2050-IDC-430 eliminates the need for traditional programming headers on your PCB. The spring-pin connector ensures a secure, reliable connection rated for over 100,000 operations, whilst requiring only a minimal footprint of pads and locating holes on your board.
This 10-conductor cable terminates in a standard 14-pin ribbon connector, specifically wired for TI MSP-FET430 debuggers and compatible MSP430 debuggers. The legged version's footprint occupies approximately the same board space as two or three SMT resistors, allowing for flexible placement near the MCU.
For design engineers seeking efficient production programming and reduced board costs, the TC2050-IDC-430 Legged Cable offers a robust, space-saving solution for MSP430 development projects.
