The TC2030-PKT-NL (no legs) cable is also compatible with the TC2030 legged footprint allowing use of the TC2030-PKT legged cable for development work and TC2030-PKT-NL for fast programming in production. 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.ДЄ major advantage of the TC2030-PKT-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. Tag-Connect TC2030-PKT-NL cable is primarily intended for use in production programming. 1 x TC2030-MCP-NL 6-Pin No-Legs Cable with RJ12 Modular Plug (for Microchip ICD) Ideal for efficient production programming and also for debugging. Where a sustained connection to the PCB is required, also consider the TC2030-MCP. The TC2030-MCP-NL can be held in place making it suitable for debugging and development when using TC2030-CLIP board. 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.

Solutions - AC164110 ADAPTER NOT INCLUDED - PURCHASE SEPARATELY PCB connector Only use our TC2030-MCPВ or TC2030-MCP-NLВ with PICkit 3 and the AC164110 adapter. We do not recommend our longer TC2030-MCP-10 and TC2030-MCP-NL-10 cables with PICkit 3. 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 always recommend using a ratcheted crimp tool which will ensure that under-crimping of modular plugs is not possible.ДЄNOTHER WARNINGВ The ICSP signals supplied by PICkit 3 do not have the same drive strength as MicrochipвЂ™s ICD 3 and REAL ICE debuggers. PLEASE discard the Microchip RJ12 cable OR use a quality RJ12 crimp tool to ensure the crimps have been fully completed. 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. In every case weвЂ™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 adapter can be purchased from any Microchip distributor such as Mouser or Digikey ДЄctually, itвЂ™s an RJ12 to ICSP adapter, RJ11 connectors only have four contacts whereas RJ12 have 6.ДЄ WORD OF WARNINGВ MicrochipвЂ™s AC164110 adapter ships with a short RJ12 cable (that you wonвЂ™t need if you are using Tag-Connect).
