Programming Connector

The programming connector is a 6-pin header (0.100" spacing) that connects to the 
target device. See the pinout specification in Figure 1-2

For more information on how to use the PICkit™ 2 Microcontroller Programmer with 
In-Circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™), refer to Chapter 3. “PICkit™ 2 and 
ICSP™”
.
