I'm starting to put support for Tag Connect in my PCBs. This is a really simple and elegant way to pogo into a board without having to build a clumsy fixture.

The cost to add support on a board is literally zero.
- danimal88 8y agoThanks for sharing this. Would love to see a more compacy version of this but either way, it doesn't seem like a really elegant solution.
- joezydeco 8y agoPogo figures are never "elegant" by any means.
- bsder 8y agoOddly, TagConnect with the locking holes is slightly bigger than 4 standard .100 pins. TagConnect is really only useful when you want to only program the board, and not do anything like debugging.
- jpm_sd 8y agoTried it, not a fan. I use the 10 pin ARM JTAG pinout on all my boards with a 0.050" 2x5 ribbon header. Works great, very small. http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.faqs/attached/13634/cortex_debug_connectors.pdf http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.faqs/attach...
- leonardmh 8y agoLove that connector, I’d like to see something roughly the same physical size that can do SWD/JTAG, SPI, UART, and I2C. Even splitting that across two connectors would be good, maybe SWD+UART AND SPI+I2C
