These look cool, don't think I've seen them mentioned on the PIClist before:
http://www.tag-connect.com/catalog/5
http://www.tag-connect.com/tag-connect-pinout-specifications
"Microchip ICD / ICSP Tag-Connect 6-pin Cables with RJ12 Modular Plug for use
with Microchip ICD and compatible debuggers and programmers."
"Tag-Connect uses tried and tested pogo-pins (spring-pins) to make a reliable
electrical connection - a connection you can trust - for as long as is required."
Hope it works like it should... have designed into a project now, will be able to offer
more of an opinion soonish. I went for the "No-Legs" version (takes less PCB area,
but also more likely to work better with the extra thick PCB I'm using). Will use the
optional retaining clip during program dev/debug:
http://www.tag-connect.com/accessories.
Available from DigiKey and elelment14. Not cheap, but soon becomes good value
as PCB volume increases, given zero component cost per PCB.
For production runs (50 ~ 100 or so) I may make a small jig to hold things in place.
I'm thinking a routed outline in a piece of wood to locate the PCB, and a toggle
clamp/lever/thing to lower the programming plug into place and hold a little pressure
on it.
