How to connect the PICkit4 programmer to a PIC MCU

The Microchip's MPLAB PICkit4 In-Circuit Programmer (ICSP) should be connected to a PIC MCU as shown in the following diagram.


The programmer has 8 pins but only the first 5 pins are used for this connection. The pin number 1 on the programmer can be identified with the arrow symbol on the program as shown below.

Short male-to-male jumper wires can be used to create the 5-wire connection as follows.


The programming might be successful without connecting the recommended 50 kohm resistor between the MCLR and VDD pins, but it is a good idea to follow the recommendations.
