NGINEERS LECTRONICS FOR July/August 2024 In this issue


Tag Connect, a connectors distributor based in California, sponsors the cover for our July/August issue. They provide a simple, secure way to connect debuggers, programmers and test equipment to your PCBs while saving space and cost on every board. Their patented connectors connect directly to a tiny footprint of pads and holes in your PCB, so there is no mating connector or component required, the PCB itself is the mating connector. Tag-Connect thus eliminates the need for a programming / test header or JTAG connector on your PCB, saving you both the cost of the connector and potentially a most of PCB real-estate traditionally required.
