Features
"Supplies Power 5V power To Your Circuits" This programmer can power your circuts up to (500mA or Max USB output) so there's no need for a separate power supply just connect the correct wires and its ready to go
"ICSP Connections" It has all the ICSP connections - This all you need for programming almost all PIC devices.
"Very Compact Design" It's suitable for use on a desktop and since there is no extra power supply its easy to carry around.
"Upgradable Firmware" The design uses an internal PIC chip that is programmed using the software so it's upgradable.
"USB Port" Connects via a standard USB port.


K182A : This is Strictly an In Circuit Serial PIC Programmer (ICSP). This allows you to quickly program and debug the pic while it is in your circuit. Removing the pic to reprogram while prototyping can be cumbersome. It is designed to program the Flash Pic's from Microchip. These are the ones that have an "F" in the part number. USB ports are just about standard on all PC's now a days, so this PIC programmer only uses the USB port. The circuit is powered directly from the USB port, so no external power supply is needed.
