Emulation Header Connections
This page displays various emulation header connectors, along with information for connecting development tools to the header.
6-Pin Modular Connector
Debug headers with 6-pin modular (RJ-11/ICSP) connectors can connect directly with the following tools:
- MPLAB® REAL ICE™ In-Circuit Emulator (Standard Driver Board)
- MPLAB ICD 3
Figure 1: Modular Connection
6-Pin SIL Connector
Emulation headers with 6-pin Single In-Line (SIL) connectors are compatible with the MPLAB PICkit™ 3 In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer.
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.
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.

Modular-to-SIL Adapter
You can use this adapter for a 6-pin modular connector to a 6-pin SIL connector. Ensure that you line up pin 1 of J1 with pin 1 of the 6-pin header connector.
