Samtec cable connector systems for JTAG applications

Samtec is releasing a variety of board-level and cable connector systems for JTAG applications, which are currently shipping in volume quantities, says the interconnect manufacturer.

The Samtec JTAG connectors are available on 2.54 mm and 1.27 mm centerlines. Common sizes are 10 pin (2 x 5), 14 pin (2 x 7), and 20 pin (2 x 10). JTAG connectors are available in both through-hole and SMT orientations and with shrouded or unshrouded insulators.

In total, Samtec offers 18 eighteen JTAG-compliant connector series, including the FTSH terminal strip (right), the TST shrouded terminal strip, and FFSD micro pitch cable assembly.

The former, FTSH and TST terminal strips, are available in through hole and SMT orientations, a variety of pin counts (up to 100 total I/Os), and with selective gold/tin and all tin-plated pins.

The latter, FFSD socket strip cable assemblies, feature Samtec’s Tiger Eye rugged multi-finger BeCu contacts, low profile (5.08 mm) housing, and side locks for reliability. FFSDs are available in a number of wiring options, including reverses and daisy chains.

Samtec says the connectors for JTAG applications are in stock and available directly from Samtec or through authorized distributors.
