Overview
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.

Hands-Free Reliability
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
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 footprint files are available?
See Tag-Connect’s footprint download packs and the TC2050-IDC datasheet for keep-out and drilling guidance.
-
Is there a 20-pin micro-header version?
Yes: the TC2050-IDC-050-ALL-20">TC2050-IDC-050-ALL-020 mates to 0.05″ 2×10 micro-headers while only wiring pins 1-10 in the ribbon.
-
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.
-
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 remains robust for repeated use during development and production.
-
What is “LEMTA”?
A variant with ribbon reversal for Atmel-ICE compatibility. If you need Atmel-ICE, choose the LEMTA option.
-
What does “ALL” signify?
All ten conductors are present; grounds and detect lines are carried through. This simplifies compatibility versus selective-pin versions.
-
Which debuggers does this cable suit?
Any pod with a 0.05″ (MIPI-10) micro-header—e.g., ULINK2 and similar. For ARM 20-pin (0.1″) pods, use a TC2050 cable with the TC2050-ARM2010 adapter.
-
What is the difference between the legged and the no-legs versions?
Legged versions self-retain on the PCB. No-legs versions need a retainer such as the TC2050-CLIP for hands-free operation.
-
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.
