Key Features

SWD-specific 8-pin SIP connector for PICkit compatibility
Spring-loaded pogo pins ensure reliable connections
Four plastic retention legs for hands-free operation
Compact 7×4mm PCB footprint saves board space
For Microchip SAM ARM Cortex MCUs only
PICkit And SNAP Connection
No PCB connector required, eliminating BOM costs

Overview

The TC2030-PKT-SWD represents the optimal solution for ARM Cortex debugging workflows, combining Tag-Connect's proven pogo-pin technology with specialised SWD protocol support. Unlike standard programming cables, this variant features an 8-pin SIP connector specifically designed for the PICkit 4, PICkit 5, and SNAP debugger SWD requirements.

The cable excels in both development and production environments. Its spring-loaded contact pins ensure reliable electrical connections, whilst the four plastic retention legs provide secure PCB attachment for extended debugging sessions. The compact TC2030 footprint requires minimal PCB real estate—approximately the size of an 0805 resistor.

Compatible with TC2030-CTX ARM Cortex cables and shares the same PCB footprint as TC2030-PKT-SWD-NL no-legs variant for flexible production workflows.

Eliminates PCB Connectors

Saves component costs and board space on every production unit whilst maintaining professional debugging capability

Reliable SWD Connections

Spring-loaded pogo pins provide consistent electrical contact for critical ARM Cortex debugging and programming operations

Development Efficiency

Secure retention legs enable hands-free debugging sessions, improving productivity during firmware development and testing phases
Das 6-polige Plug-of-Nails™-Kabel ist ideal für das Debuggen und die Produktionsprogrammierung von SAM ARM Cortex MCUs mit den In-Circuit-Debuggern Microchip PICkit 4 oder SNAP. Es endet in einem 8-poligen 0,1-Zoll-SIP-Steckerstreifen zum Anschluss an den Debugger. Es ähnelt dem TC2030-PKT-Kabel, verfügt jedoch über einen 8-poligen SIP-Anschluss anstelle eines 6-poligen, wie dies bei Verwendung des PICkit 4- oder SNAP-Debuggers für die SAM-MCU-Programmierung und/oder das Debuggen erforderlich ist. Die Zielplatinen-Pinverbindungen am Plug-of-Nails™-Anschluss sind dieselben wie bei unserem TC2030-CTX ARM Cortex-Kabel.
Engineer Q&A

Questions and Answers

10 questions
  • Can I Switch Between Legged and No-legs Versions on the Same PCB?

    Yes. The TC2030-PKT-SWD-NL no-legs version fits the same PCB footprint, so you can use the legged cable for development and the no-legs one for production programming.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • What's the Maximum Programming Frequency Supported?

    Tag-Connect does not publish a maximum SWD clock for this cable. The cable is passive and does not limit the SWD clock; the usable speed is set by the PICkit, the target and your PCB layout.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Are There Any Cable Length Limitations for Signal Integrity?

    Tag-Connect does not publish a cable length for the TC2030-PKT-SWD and lists no longer variant. Keeping the cable short is sensible at higher SWD clock speeds.

    If a test fixture needs extra reach, contact us about custom lengths.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • How Many Programming Cycles Can the Cable Handle?

    Tag-Connect's cycle testing shows the spring pins last well over 100,000 operations; the ribbon cable usually wears out first. In practice, expect to replace the cable before the pins wear.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Does the Cable Provide Target Power?

    No. The cable is passive and has no power source. Your target normally needs its own supply; some programmers can supply a small current to the target through the VDD pin, so check your programmer's settings.

  • What's the Difference Between TC2030-PKT-SWD and Standard TC2030-PKT Cables?

    The TC2030-PKT-SWD has an 8-pin SIP connector for SWD on PICkit 4/5/SNAP debuggers; the standard TC2030-PKT has a 6-pin connector for PIC programming.

  • Can I Use This Cable with STM32 Microcontrollers?

    No. Tag-Connect designs this cable only for SWD debugging of SAM ARM Cortex MCUs with Microchip debuggers.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Does the Cable Work with Both Development and Production Programming?

    Yes. The retention legs hold the TC2030-PKT-SWD securely during development work, and the pogo pins handle high-volume production programming.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • What PCB Footprint Modifications Are Required?

    The footprint needs six contact pads, three alignment holes and four leg holes in roughly 6 x 7.5 mm, plus finger access; Tag-Connect quotes about 0.09 sq in. No special PCB finish is needed.

    Because no special finish is required, standard finishes such as HASL or ENIG are fine.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • How Does This Compare to Traditional Debugging Headers?

    Tag-Connect states that the no-legs footprint saves over 66 percent of the board space of a 10-pin FTSH-105 Cortex header, and there is no connector to buy for each board.
