Key Features
Overview
Tag-Connect TC2050-IDC-NL-050-ALL-20 is a professional programming/debug cable that mates a 10-pin TC2050 “No-Legs” Plug-of-Nails™ connector on the target PCB to a 20-pin, 0.05″ (1.27 mm) micro-IDC on the tool side. It is designed for debuggers that use the Cortex-20/MIPI-20 micro-header, such as Keil ULINK2 and ULINK Pro.
The No-Legs (NL) tip minimises PCB footprint and eliminates a mating header, reducing BOM cost and board height. For hands-free sessions, use a retention accessory such as the TC2050-CLIP. Where a 10-pin micro-IDC is preferred, consider the related TC2050-IDC-NL-050-ALL. If your tool presents a 20-pin 0.1″ header, the TC2050-ARM2010 adapter routes ARM-20 to the same TC2050 target footprint.
This cable suits production programming—where short, repeatable connections matter—and development debug when combined with a clip or fixture. It retains the robust spring-pin contact system and keyed geometry expected of Tag-Connect, helping ensure reliable engagement with correctly implemented footprints. Engineers working on ARM-based designs who want to conserve space, remove board-mounted headers, and keep a consistent 10-pin TC2050 target can standardise on this part across projects.
For 6-pin Cortex-SWD targets with a 20-pin tool end, see TC2030-CTX-20.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
Does the cable support trace signals?
Trace typically uses additional pins. For ULINK Pro ETM, consider <a href="">TC2030-CTX-ETM</a> which adds trace via a TC2050 tail.
-
How does this compare with expensive bed-of-nails fixtures?
It offers a simple, lower-complexity path for bring-up and production flashing; fixtures remain for high-volume automated test when needed.
-
Is there a legged version for snap-in retention?
Yes: TC2050-IDC-050-ALL-20 (legged) provides mechanical hold-down on the PCB.
-
What if my debugger only has a 20-pin 0.1″ header?
Use TC2050-ARM2010 (ARM-20 to TC2050) with a TC2050-IDC/-IDC-NL cable.
-
Can I use it for production programming?
Yes. The pogo-pin system and alignment holes support fast, repeatable engagements. Add a TC2050-CLIP or fixture for throughput.
-
I only use SWD—should I pick a 6-pin solution?
Many do. Take a look at the TC2030-CTX-20 to pair a 6-pin Tag-Connect with a 20-pin tool end.
-
Is there a version with a 10-pin micro-IDC (FTSH-105) tool end?
Yes: the TC2050-IDC-NL-050-ALL uses a 10-pin 0.05″ micro-IDC for tools with FTSH-105-01 headers.
-
How do I keep the No-Legs tip attached during debug?
Use the TC2050-CLIP for hands-free retention, or a suitable fixture where continuous connection is required.
-
What debuggers does this cable suit?
t mates with debuggers exposing a 20-pin 0.05″ Cortex-20/MIPI-20 micro-header (e.g., ULINK2/Pro). For 0.1″ ARM-20 tools, use the TC2050-ARM2010 adapter.
