6-PIN SIL CONNECTOR
Debug headers with 6-pin SIL (Single In-Line) connectors are compatible with the tools 
listed below.
PICkit 2 or 3 Programmer/Debug Express
The 6-pin socket of the PICkit 2 or PICkit 3 may be directly connected to the 6 header 
pins. Be sure to line up pin 1 on PICkit with pin 1 on header.

6-PIN SIL CONNECTION TO A PICKIT
MPLAB ICD 2 or 3 In-Circuit Debugger
The 6-pin modular cable attached to the MPLAB ICD 2 or MPLAB ICD 3 may be 
connected to the 6 header pins through the Modular-to-SIL Adapter.
MPLAB REAL ICE In-Circuit Emulator
The 6-pin modular cable attached to the Standard Driver Board may be connected to 
the 6 header pins through the Modular-to-SIL Adapter. No SPI trace is available with 
this connection because of the loss of the DAT and CLK pins.
The 8-pin socket of the High Speed Driver Board or optional Isolation Unit may be 
directly connected to the 6 header pins. Be sure to line up pin 1 on the board with pin 
1 on the header.

Note:
No SPI trace is possible in this case because of the loss of DAT and CLK 
pins. However, if the device supports SPI, two additional header pins can 
be attached to add this functionality.
