Tag-Connect founder Neil Sherman joined Phil Salmony of @PhilsLab for Electronics World’s “Lessons From the Debug Bench” recording.
Neil and Phil discussed some of the trickiest debugging problems they have encountered over the years, sharing experiences from the bench and evaluating the latest capabilities of AI.
Video highlights and the full video are available here.
Tag-Connect’s Plug-of-Nails™ connectors have turned up in some pretty exciting places, including F1 race car development. Most recently, the TC2030-CTX-STDC14 was used to program a custom dual actuated eCVT (electronic Continuously Variable Transmission) built by Cal Poly’s Baja SAE team for off-road racing.
Working on an interesting student project? We may be able to gift connectors with minor cosmetic defects as stock allows. Just get in touch via [email protected] and let us what you’re building.

Tag-Connect Plug-of-Nails™ programming connectors were used on the development of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter to minimize PCB real estate and component weight (no mating half connector is required on the PCB). Three TC2050 footprints can be seen on the Flight Control Board.
