The Tag-Connect cable on the other hand is anything but free.
I'm surprised there is no competition
Yep, last time I took a look at the cable price they're pretty outrageous. I suppose they only make money on cables, not connectors - hence the markup. And it seems like the Tag-Connect is patented, which is why nobody has tried to make a clone of it?
That is super cool. Thanks for the reference. The TTL footprint would have saved me a ton of hassle on a recent project.
Obviously there are generic solutions without the PCB alignment holes (and aren't patented), if you need something along those lines.
Although I think clips are roughly the same price if you go that route as well.
