Overview
The Tag-Connect TC2050-IDC-050-ALL is a 10-pin “legged” Plug-of-Nails™ programming/debug cable that mates directly to a tiny TC2050 PCB footprint—no header required—and terminates in a 0.05″ (1.27 mm) 2×5 IDC plug. It connects 1:1 with all ten conductors present (including grounds and detect), making it suitable for ULINK2 and other tools using a Samtec FTSH-105-01 style micro-header.
Why Consider This Cable
For space-constrained boards, eliminating a fitted header saves BOM cost and height while retaining a secure, repeatable connection for SWD/JTAG during bring-up, test and production. The legged form factor self-retains for hands-free use.
Variants & Related Options
Also available in a No-Legs variant as TC2050-IDC-NL-050-ALL (use with a clip) and in a 20-pin micro-header version as TC2050-IDC-050-ALL-20. For ARM 20-pin (0.1″) pods, pair a TC2050 cable with the TC2050-ARM2010 adapter.
Typical Applications
ARM Cortex-M SWD/JTAG, FPGA/CPLD bring-up, in-line production programming, and boundary-scan on compact or sealed designs where a permanent connector is undesirable.

Tooling Compatibility
Das Programmierkabel TC2050-IDC-050-ALL verfügt über einen Flachbandstecker mit 0,050 Zoll Rastermaß, der für ULINK2 und ähnliche Debugger geeignet ist, die den Mikro-Header im Stil von Samtec FTSH-105-01 verwenden.
Die Pinverbindungen sind 1-1 und alle 10 Pins sind verbunden. (Beim Standardkabel TC2050-IDC-050 sind die Pins 5 und 9 nicht verbunden, sodass sie unserem Adapter TC2050-ARM2010 ähneln.)
Dieses Kabel ist auch in der LEMTA-Version erhältlich. Diese hat das Flachbandkabel umgedreht für den Einsatz mit dem Atmel-ICE.

Questions and Answers
-
How Is This Different From Leaving a 10-pin Header on the Board?
You save BOM cost and height. The TC2050 footprint has effectively zero height yet stands up to repeated use in development and production.
-
Can I Use It for SWD and Full JTAG?
Yes. The 10-pin mapping supports common SWD and JTAG signals. Always verify your tool’s pinout.
-
Is There a 20-pin Micro-header Version?
Yes, the TC2050-IDC-050-ALL-20 mates with 0.05″ 2×10 micro-headers, but only pins 1-10 are wired.
TC2050-IDC-050-ALL (this cable) TC2050-IDC-050-ALL-20 Debugger connector 10-pin 0.050″, Samtec FTSH-105-01 style 20-pin 0.050″, Samtec FTSH-110-01 style Pins connected All 10, 1-1 Pins 1-10 connected 1-1; pins 11-20 not connected -
What Footprint Files Are Available?
See Tag-Connect’s footprint download packs and the TC2050-IDC datasheet for keep-out and drilling guidance.
-
How Does This Compare with Costlier Test Connectors?
Compared with fitted high-density board connectors and fixtures, Tag-Connect offers a compact, repeatable interface without permanent hardware on the PCB.
-
What Does “Plug-of-Nails™” Mean?
It refers to the pogo-pin connector that mates with a simple PCB footprint (pads + guide holes), eliminating a soldered header while providing reliable contact.
-
What Is the Difference Between the Legged and the No-legs Versions?
Legged versions hold themselves on the PCB. No-legs versions need a retainer such as the TC2050-CLIP for hands-free use.
-
Which Debuggers Does This Cable Suit?
Any pod with a 0.05″ (MIPI-10) micro-header, for example ULINK2 and similar. For ARM 20-pin (0.1″) pods, use the TC2050-ARM2010 adapter with a TC2050-IDC or TC2050-IDC-NL (0.1″ IDC) cable rather than this 0.050″ cable.
-
What Does “ALL” Signify?
All ten conductors are present, so pins 5 and 9 (ground on the Cortex-10 header) are carried through as well. This makes compatibility simpler than with selective-pin versions.
-
What Is “LEMTA”?
A variant with ribbon reversal for Atmel-ICE compatibility. If you need Atmel-ICE, choose the LEMTA option.
