PA51-DP-PP – 40-Pin DIP Socket to PLCC Emulator Adapter (8051 Family)

Overview

PA51-DP-PP is a PLCC emulator adapter designed for Intel 8051-family microcontrollers and compatible devices. As a result, engineers can evaluate 40-pin DIP 8051 devices using systems that require a PLCC emulator interface.

On the top side, the adapter provides a 40-pin DIP socket on 0.100″ (2.54 mm) pitch. Therefore, it accepts standard 8051-family DIP devices used in firmware development, emulation, and validation workflows.

On the bottom side, the adapter presents a PLCC plug interface. Consequently, it inserts directly into PLCC emulator sockets without additional cabling.

This adapter uses device-specific wiring rather than full 1:1 pin mapping. Instead, it aligns 8051 port, control, oscillator, and programming signals to the PLCC footprint. The Adapter Wiring table below lists the exact connections.
