Tag-Connect founder Neil Sherman will join Phil Salmony of Phil’s Lab for Electronics World’s upcoming “Lessons From the Debug Bench” video.

Thursday, October 15

3:00pm BST (UK) / 4:00pm CEST (Germany) / 10:00am EDT (US East)

The recording will be available through the Electronics World webinars section.

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.

Just answer this question. How many pins on a TC2030?*
