PIC16f877A JTAG ICSP PIC Programmer board

Integrated 40-Pin ZIF Socket: Features a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) lever socket for easy insertion, locking, and extraction of DIP-packaged PIC microcontrollers without bending chip pins.

In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) Interface: Equipped with a dedicated ICSP header for direct programming and debugging of target PIC microcontrollers directly in-circuit without removing the IC.

Onboard Peripheral Suite: Includes built-in user hardware controls like push buttons, status LEDs, potentiometers for ADC input testing, and an onboard RS232/USB serial interface.

Broad Microchip PIC Family Support: Purpose-built for the popular PIC16F877A while supporting a wide array of 8-bit Microchip PIC microcontrollers across 18-pin, 28-pin, and 40-pin DIP form factors.

External Crystal Oscillator Socket: Features a replaceable quartz crystal socket allowing flexible clock configuration for different MCU timing requirements.

Module Construction: Built on a multi-layer FR-4 glass epoxy printed circuit board featuring gold-plated IC contacts, durable header pins, and rubber isolated mounting feet.

Power Supply & Operating Voltage: Operates logic and programming lines on 5V DC supplied via standard USB interface or external 9V–12V DC jack input.

Handling Precautions: Always lift the ZIF socket lever fully before inserting or releasing target ICs. Practice standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety precautions during handling.

Environmental Limits: Operating temperature range spans -20°C to +70°C. Keep protected from static discharge, conductive metal particles, and liquid moisture.

Complete PIC Development Hub: Position as an all-in-one evaluation and programming board for students, engineers, and hobbyists learning Microchip PIC assembly and C programming.

Eliminates Breadboard Wiring Hassles: Highlight how integrated onboard peripherals (LEDs, buttons, pot) allow instant testing of code routines right after flashing.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with PICKIT 3 / PICKIT 4 Debuggers, PIC16F877A Microcontrollers, USB-to-Serial Cables, and Dupont Jumper Wires.

Ideal for University & Lab Work: Perfect choice for academic microelectronics laboratories, hardware prototyping courses, and embedded systems training modules.
