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
Compatible with SAM ARM Cortex MCUs only
Professional-grade cable construction for durability
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • Does the cable provide target power?

    No, the cable carries power reference signals only. Your target board requires independent power supply, though the debugger can provide limited power for very low-consumption applications.

  • How many programming cycles can the cable handle?

    The pogo pins are rated for over 100,000 insertion cycles under normal use conditions. In practice, the ribbon cable typically requires replacement before pin wear becomes significant.

  • Are there any cable length limitations for signal integrity?

    The standard cable length maintains excellent signal integrity for SWD frequencies. Longer variants are available for specific applications requiring extended reach in test fixtures.

  • What's the maximum programming frequency supported?

    The cable supports the full SWD frequency range of compatible PICkit debuggers, typically up to 18MHz depending on target MCU specifications and PCB design quality.

  • Can I switch between legged and no-legs versions on the same PCB?

    Yes, the TC2030-PKT-SWD-NL no-legs version is compatible with the same PCB footprint, allowing flexible use of legged cables for development and no-legs for production programming.

  • How does this compare to traditional debugging headers?

    Tag-Connect eliminates the connector component cost (typically £1-3 per board) and reduces PCB space requirements by approximately 80% compared to standard 10-pin ARM debugging headers.

  • What PCB footprint modifications are required?

    The TC2030 footprint requires six contact pads and four retention holes in a 7×4mm area. No special PCB finishes are needed—standard HASL or ENIG work perfectly with the pogo pin contacts.

  • Does the cable work with both development and production programming?

    Yes, the TC2030-PKT-SWD excels in both environments. The retention legs provide secure connection for development work, whilst the reliable pogo pins handle high-volume production programming requirements.

  • Can I use this cable with STM32 microcontrollers?

    No, this cable is specifically designed for SAM ARM Cortex MCUs with Microchip debuggers. For STM32 debugging, consider the TC2030-CTX series cables with appropriate adapters.

  • What's the difference between TC2030-PKT-SWD and standard TC2030-PKT cables?

    The TC2030-PKT-SWD features an 8-pin SIP connector specifically designed for SWD protocol on PICkit 4/5/SNAP debuggers, whilst the standard TC2030-PKT has a 6-pin connector for traditional PIC programming.
