PIC Programming Adapter Module Board

Product Overview

The PIC Programming Adapter Module Board is a reliable interface board for fast and accurate programming and testing of PIC microcontrollers. It provides a convenient connection between your PIC programmer and the target MCU for in-circuit programming (ICSP) or standalone programming of programmed chips.

Key Features

• Universal PIC MCU support: works with PIC16F, PIC18F and many other PIC families.
• Compatible with common programmers: PICkit 2, PICkit 3, MPLAB ICD 2 and MPLAB ICD 3, and other standard PIC programmers.
• ISP and ICSP support: direct programming while the MCU is mounted in a circuit.
• ZIF socket or IC socket interface: easy insertion and removal without bending or damaging pins (depends on the version).
• Clearly marked pin labels to simplify wiring and reduce errors during programming.
• Compact and portable: lightweight design suitable for bench, lab, and field use.
• High-quality PCB layout and reliable components for consistent performance during repeated use.

Compatibility and Supported Programmers

This adapter module is designed to work with the most common PIC programmers and IDEs. Typical compatible devices and tools include:

• PICkit 2 and PICkit 3
• MPLAB ICD 2 and MPLAB ICD 3
• Other standard PIC programmers that use the ICSP pinout

Applications

• Programming and updating firmware on PIC microcontrollers
• Embedded system prototyping and development
• Educational labs and hands-on training
• Microcontroller testing, debugging, and verification
• Small-scale production programming and field servicing

Technical Details

• Socket options: ZIF socket or fixed IC holder depending on the version
• Pinout: Standard ICSP pin labels for VPP, VDD, GND, PGD, PGC, and optional PGM
• PCB: High-quality layout for low noise and mechanical stability
• Form factor: Compact PCB suitable for bench use or integration into a test jig

How to Use

1. Place the PIC MCU into the ZIF socket or IC holder, aligning pin 1 correctly.
2. Connect your PIC programmer to the adapter using the standard ICSP connector or cable.
3. Power the target board if required or use programmer-supplied power according to your programmer settings.
4. Open your programming software (for example MPLAB or PICkit software), select the device, and start programming or verification.

Why Choose This PIC Programming Adapter Module Board

• Reduces programming errors with clear pin labeling and reliable connections.
• Speeds up development and testing cycles with quick chip insertion and removal.
• Versatile compatibility across multiple PIC families and common programmer tools.
• Durable design for repeated use by students, hobbyists, and professionals.
