Development-Ready Programming Solution
The TC2070-IDC-050 combines professional microcontroller programming capabilities with hands-free debugging convenience through its integrated retention system. This legged version features four plastic clips that securely lock onto the PCB, enabling sustained development sessions without manual cable holding.
Key Connection Points
14-pin "Plug-of-Nails" spring-pin connector with plastic retention legs on the PCB end, whilst the debugger end terminates in a 0.05" pitch (1.27mm) female IDC connector for modern STDC14-compatible programmers.
PCB Footprint & Retention System
Requires gold-plated test pads, three alignment holes, plus four additional mounting holes for the plastic retention legs. The complete TC2070 footprint measures approximately 16.5mm x 11.1mm including leg clearance areas, providing secure attachment during extended debugging sessions.
