Product will be about 10k units. Wont be getting the micros pre-programmed, so we will be doing each on our line due to the fact there are other processes that need be done at same time. Boards are SMD.
Connection to board must be as quick and painless as possible. Ideally, there is no extra parts needed on the board. Thus a logical solution would be edge connect to the board with an IDC. But problem I see is the edge connector may be a tad hard to slide on and off. Using PICkit2 another method might be to use a series of spring pins mated to the PICkit2 and have 5 tiny holes on board with pads surround, such that the PICkit2 pins are pushed down on to the board for each program.
Any other ideas?
