Tag-Connect is proud to be a Microchip Premier 3rd Party Tools Supplier.
Microchip’s new MPLAB PICkit 4 is the successor of the very popular PICkit 3 programmer / debugger.
Tag-Connect™ replacement debug/programming cables save cost and space on every board!
PICkit 4 has an 8-pin 0.1″ pitch SIP header in place of PICkit 3’s 6-pin header. For PIC / dsPIC / PIC32 the same 6-pin cables used for PICkit 3 are still used with PICkit 4 and will bring out the same signals on the TC2030 footprints as when used with PICkit 3, make sure you align pin 1 of both connectors.
Additionally, PICkit 4 extends the range of target devices to include the Microchip (Atmel) SAM family of ARM Cortex based MCU’s as well as having support for MIPS EJTAG and (Atmel) AVR MCU’s.
TC2030-MCP with Microchip AC164110 Adapter (Adapter NOT included)
This solutions is ONLY for PIC/dsPIC/PIC32 families, it won’t work with AVR or SAM.
This solution shares the same PCB footprints / pinouts as detailed on page 1 of these datasheets: TC2030-MCP / TC2030-MCP-NL
Our soon to be launched new family of 8-pin TC2040 cables and solutions will support SAM, AVR, and MIPS. For more information or to be added to our notification list please Contact Us. Also watch this space for new solutions for SAM using the same 6-pin TC2030 footprints as our ARM20-CTX adapter + TC2030-IDC cables (SWD protocol). Watch this space!
Actually, it’s an RJ12 to ICSP adapter, RJ11 connectors only have four contacts whereas RJ12 have 6.
A WORD OF WARNING Microchip’s AC164110 adapter ships with a short RJ12 cable (that you won’t need if you are using Tag-Connect). In every case we’ve seen the Microchip supplied cable is severely undercrimped and WILL BEND AND DAMAGE the gold wire contacts in any jack or debugger that it is plugged into. The undercrimped cable will work just fine with the now damaged jack, but any correctly crimped cable that is subsequently plugged in (such as our TC2030-MCP cable) will operate at best intermmittently. PLEASE discard the Microchip RJ12 cable OR use a quality RJ12 crimp tool to ensure the crimps have been fully completed. We always recommend using a ratcheted crimp tool which will ensure that under-crimping of modular plugs is not possible.
ANOTHER WARNING The ICSP signals supplied by PICkit 3 do not have the same drive strength as Microchip’s ICD 3 and REAL ICE debuggers. Unrealted to use (or not) of our cables, we recommend choosing the ICD 3 or similar over PICkit 3 in order to avoid noise related connection problems. We do not recommend our longer TC2030-MCP-10 and TC2030-MCP-NL-10 cables with PICkit 3.

RJ12 to 6 Pin Edge-Connect™
PCB End: 6 Pin Edge-Connect™
Debug End: 6 Pin RJ11/RJ12
Edge-Connect™ - The Leading-Edge Connector!
This special cable has a 6-pin ECV3-06 Edge-Connect™ connector and an RJ12 Modular Plug for Microchip ICD.
ECV3 is the third generation in the Edge-Connect™ family. ECV3 is NOT compatible with the previous Edge-Connect family and both will continue to be supported as current products into the future.
ECV3 makes some minor improvements adding greater robustness, improved convenience and is designed to be a mainstream product.
Edge-Connect™ is the patent-pending newest member in the family of Programming Connectors and Cables from Tag-Connect. ECV3-06 is the 6-pin connector.
By connecting to the literal edge of the PCB (not the surface near the edge like traditional edge-connectors) Edge-Connect™ is designed to essentially eliminate the wasted real-estate needed by JTAG programming and test connectors.
Edge-Connect™ is an Ideal solution for space-sensitive PCB’s and modules that don’t have room on the board for traditional connectors but which still need a means of programming firmware and testing.
We've designed Edge-Connect™so that we can offer low-cost, fast-turn, customized connector solutions to meet the unique requirements of your PCB - Contact Us if you have a custom requirement.
Connects directly to the literal edge of the PCB
PCB snaps directly onto the Edge-Connect™
Zero Component Cost on the PCB
Maximizes available PCB real-estate
Eliminates the cost of a connector on every board
Requires just one tiny locating hole
Low profile edge access ideal for use with stacked PCB’s with no access headroom
Cant be connected backwards due to keyed feature
Standard or custom design configurations available
Alternative pitch? Three castellated edges? No problem!
No Header! - No Brainer!
Instead of using the usual space-costly Surface Mount or Plated Through-Hole connectors, Edge-Connect™ has springy gold-plated contacts that connect directly to the literal edge of the target PCB using edge castellation.
A Castellated PCB edge is a board edge that has plated through holes that are placed overhanging the edge of the board and typically made at little to no extra cost even from most cheap proto-board fab services (often a check box in the online quote is marked "Castellated Holes").
Castellated edges are commonly used on RF, WiFi, BLE and IoT sensor modules making them suitable for soldering as an SMT component onto host PCB’s using the castellated holes as pins. Edge-Connect™ allows test and programming and even debugging without first soldering the module to the host PCB. This makes it very useful for factory test and programming of the module.
ECV3-06-MCP has a castellation pitch of 1.27mm and requires a single tiny non-plated through hole to locate and hold the PCB in place.
New datasheet coming soon. Note that this product terminates in an RJ12 connector.
Note: ECV3-06-MCP with ribbon cable and RJ12 connector only supplied, Demo PCB not included.
RJ12 to 6 Pin Plug-of-Nails™ - No Legs (standard cable)
PCB End: 6 Pin Plug-of-Nails™ No Legs
Debug End: 6 Pin RJ11/RJ12
Tag-Connect TC2030-MCP-NL programming cable is primarily intended for use in production programming. It is particularly suited to environments where the connection to the PCB is of short duration, and operators are working quickly from board to board.
A major advantage of the TC2030-MCP-NL is the extremely small footprint required on the PCB (hardly any bigger than a surface mount resistor) allowing the minimum possible space on your PCB to be used for the programming connection.
The TC2030-MCP-NL is also compatible with the TC2030-MCP footprint allowing use of the TC2030-MCP for development work and TC2030-MCP-NL for fast programming in production.
The TC2030-MCP-NL can be held in place making it suitable for debugging and development when using TC2030-CLIP board .
Where a sustained connection to the PCB is required, also consider the TC2030-MCP.
Ideal for efficient production programming and also for debugging.
This product is intended to temporarily hold a TC2030 -NL ("No Legs") cable in place on a PCB. This solution will help when board space is at a premium and you need a hands free solution for debugging. Supplied as pack of 3.
We recommend keeping a few spare of these since the tiny boards are easy to misplace when working on the bench.
For a more robust solution consider a TC2030 legged cable.

Tag-Connect TC2030-MCP cable is primarily intended for use in development environments and is also ideal for production programming. The spring-loaded contact pins are held firmly in place by four plastic legs each of which clips securely into its own locating hole.
Tag-Connect TC2030-MCP is ideal where you need to maintain a connection to the PCB for an extended period such as when performing testing or development work.
See also TC2030-MCP-NL for applications where an even smaller footprint is required.
Ideal for both debugging and production programming.
