2.2. Cable-to-Board Connection
The Intel® FPGA Download Cable has a 10-pin female connector, which plugs into a 10-pin male header on the device board. The male header consists of two rows of five pins, which are connected to the programming or configuration pins of the device.
A 10-pin surface mount header can be used for the JTAG, AS, or PS download cable. However, Intel® recommends using a through-hole connector because of the repeated insertion and removal force needed.
