I've lost track of who was the Original Poster (OP)... > > I just bought the Microchip development system that gets the ICD 2 a= nd the PICDEM 2 PLUS board. on that board I have the ICD socket, as I want to use the ICD2 as a programmer w= here can I buy this sockets Bering in mind I am in the UK. Maplin sell what I think is the one, under the name "FCC68 modular socke= t", type 6C6P (6 contacts in a 6 position shell). Their part number is JW45Y, and they're GB=A30.69 each= . The annoying thing that I find about these is that the PCB pins are offset (look under your PICDEM2 to see wh= at I mean) so they won't fit in Veroboard, or any other 0.1" pitch board layout. Go to http://www.maplin.co.uk if you don't know where to find their near= est shop. Good luck!

Wouter, I note on the last page of this document you describe the connec= tor as "RJ45" - that would be an 8-pin connector, whereas the one the OP was asking about is 6-pin, which I thi= nk is called "RJ11".
