Help Identifying Connectors

I am trying to find the following connectors to help with debugging a circuit board, but have had no luck online.

I need a connector for this one that can connect to a breadboard or USB to another machine for debugging using the JTAG interface.


I need a ribbon cable for this one so I can lay the 2 boards side by side while performing analysis on the components between them.

Lastly, I need a connector for these 3 pins to power the board in debugging mode.

To the best of my knowledge, the ribbon cable connector seems to be some edge board variant, but I can't find anything with the row in the middle or the oddly shaped ends.

Try to get measurements from pin-to-pin (pitch) and post them near their respective pictures.

Can you not contact the board manufacturer?

That looks like just a plain 0.1" header?

I am working on getting a caliper to gather these measurements. I will add them to the post when I have them. Thank you for the advice!

No, the manufacturer will not be comfortable helping external entities reverse their hardware. Judging by the number of proprietary ICs on the board, I'm guessing the white connectors are proprietary. If this is the case, is there an online marketplace to fab custom connectors?

Also, you are correct, the pin size is 0.1, however I was curious if there is a name for a 3-pin 0.1 connector with this shape?

You are a hero, thank you! Since you can only purchase the connectors, will I need to create my own ribbon cable by buying a male and female connector and putting them on either end?

Yes.

Might be easier to make a board rather than a cable?

I don't know. I'd probably contact TE Connectivity and see what they suggest.

Try CABLESTOGO.COM
They do 1-off and production runs. They might need you to send the board with the connector(s).

Similar to a breakout board?

And any hints on what type the 20-pin connector is? Since it's double sided, it makes me think the male end will look like PCIE.
