18 to 28/40 pin PIC programmer adapter

icd 40 pin pic programmer adaptor circuits

Hi
I'm looking for a 18 to 28/48 pin socket adapter for my PIC prog with LVP pin grounded
Anyone has a small PCB ?
Thanxs

Why not use a ZIF socket?

I still can remember the old day when I was starting my PIC study with an ordinary IC socket. I can't recall how much PIC legs I had distroyed!

PIC-PG2C - SERIAL PORT PROGRAMMER FOR 8/18/28/40 PIN PIC MICROCONTROLLERS AND I2C EEPROMS + ICSP connector and cable

:arrow: :idea: if you do not have ZIF in your locality, tries to modify
protoboard like reconfigurable ZIF. To my it ave good results and it lets me mistreat the pins of my ICs.

Check here.

ZIF sockets with reasonable price. Check also if they ship to you country.

You should really start looking at ICSP programmers. You'll appreciate the convenience in no time.
Anyway, I've attached protel files for your convenience. They include a socket board for 18/28/40-pin PICs with an ICSP socket, a modified ICSP 40-pin header from Patrick Touzet's design, and a 28-pin convertor for the ICSP header. I've not tested the 28-pin convertor so don't fault me if there's a mistake. Someone could come up with an 8-pin and 18-pin adaptor to complete the series, but I'm sticking with plain old ICSP.
I'm using a self-built ICD-S programmer using Patrick Touzet's design with a 20MHz oscillator. It's way convenient, where you can program, run/stop the program all thru software. I didn't even have to touch my circuit one bit after I've finalized my hardware design, with the sole exception of saving electricity by cutting off power when I need to rest :lol:
