The MPLAB PM3 Programmer is designed with
40 programmable socket pins, allowing each socket
module to be configured to support many different
devices, requiring fewer socket modules to support the
entire line of Microchip parts. The socket modules use
multi-pin connectors for high reliability and quick
interchange. An adapter allows current PRO MATE
