Key Features

Direct PCB connection without mating connector
0.050" pitch ULINK2 compatibility
Legged retention system for debugging
Spring pins rated 100,000+ operations
ARM Cortex JTAG and SWD support
Pins 5 and 9 intentionally disconnected
Tiny PCB footprint requirement

Overview

The TC2050-IDC-050 is a specialised debugging cable designed for ARM Cortex microcontroller development using ULINK2 and similar debuggers. This 10-pin Plug-of-Nails™ cable features spring-loaded pins that connect directly to PCB pads without requiring a mating connector, eliminating board space and cost overhead. The cable terminates in a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch ribbon connector compatible with the Samtec FTSH-105-01 style micro-header found on ARM debugging tools. Important: Pins 5 and 9 are not connected in this standard version to maintain compatibility with ARM2010 adapter configurations. For applications requiring all pins connected, consider the TC2050-IDC-050-ALL variant. The legged design includes plastic retention tabs that secure the cable to the PCB during extended debugging sessions. This cable supports both JTAG and SWD protocols for comprehensive ARM Cortex debugging capabilities. For automated production environments, the no-legs version provides faster connection cycles suitable for high-volume programming.

Engineer Q&A

Questions and Answers

10 questions
  • What PCB Footprint Does This Cable Require?

    The TC2050 footprint is 10 contact pads plus locating holes; the legged cable also needs holes for its retention legs. It is much smaller than a traditional 0.1" header. Exact dimensions are in Tag-Connect's footprint drawings.

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

    Tag-Connect cables remove the cost and board space of a permanent header. A traditional 10-pin 0.1″ header costs more per board and takes much more PCB area, while the TC2050 footprint costs nothing per board and gives the same JTAG/SWD connection (pins 5 and 9 are not wired in this cable).

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Is the Cable Compatible with Atmel-ICE Debuggers?

    Not this cable. For the Atmel-ICE Tag-Connect recommends the TC2050-IDC-050-ALL ordered in the LEMTA (reversed ribbon connector) orientation, because the Atmel-ICE 10-pin header has reversed pin numbering.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • What's the Maximum Target Voltage Supported?

    The cable is passive, so the voltage limit is set by your debugger, not the cable. Pin 1 carries the target voltage reference to the debugger.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Can I Use This Cable for non-ARM Microcontrollers?

    Yes. Although designed for ARM Cortex debugging, the cable can carry any signals you design into the footprint. With suitable debugger support, the 10-pin layout can serve custom debug applications on other microcontroller families.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • What Debugging Protocols Does the TC2050-IDC-050 Support?

    It supports JTAG and SWD for ARM Cortex microcontrollers. For SWD-only use in the smallest space, Tag-Connect offers the 6-pin TC2030-CTX.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Is This Cable Compatible with Other Debuggers Besides ULINK2?

    Yes. It works with any debugger that uses a Samtec FTSH-105-01 style 0.050" pitch 10-pin micro-header, including many ARM Cortex debug tools and development boards.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Why Are Pins 5 and 9 Not Connected in This Version?

    Pins 5 and 9 are left unconnected for compatibility with Tag-Connect's TC2050-ARM2010 adapter configuration; using this cable is equivalent to using that adapter with a TC2050-IDC cable. If you need all 10 pins connected, choose the TC2050-IDC-050-ALL variant.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • What's the Difference Between Legged and No-legs Versions?

    The legged cable locks to the PCB with plastic legs for hands-free debugging; the no-legs TC2050-IDC-NL-050 has a smaller footprint.

    Answered by John LeggUpdated 9 Oct 2026
  • Can I Use This Cable for Production Programming?

    Yes. The spring pins are rated for over 100,000 operations. Note that Tag-Connect generally recommends the TC2050-IDC (0.1″ ribbon) for durability, because the fine 0.050″ ribbon on this cable can break with repeated flexing. For high-volume production consider the no-legs TC2050-IDC-NL-050 with a clip or fixture.
