I&amp;#39;m using nRF52840 CKAA 94 pin BGA package MCUs.

By using socket board you can do the chip programming and even some debug activity without need to solder the IC itself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Ressa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nRF52840 CKAA Universal Programmer Adapter</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/547379?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Sep 2025 20:30:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:b0b129d8-a135-4573-ba42-2d792e92c025</guid><dc:creator>samerr</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually what ı am looking for is a so called universal programmer adapter which doesn&amp;#39;t only touches to SWD pads but also to other required pads such as supplies(vdds, gnds), clk etc. The footprint has 0.35mm ball pitch and I have never seen a pogo pin that small. If you know any, could you give a link pls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind regards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: nRF52840 CKAA Universal Programmer Adapter</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/547145?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2025 08:01:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7283b06e-3c3c-4b13-99eb-ec5c2f895dee</guid><dc:creator>Jared</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi there,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you say, how the SWD interface are routed and placed depends on the specific design, so any adapter would have to fit that design specifically. Unless you are looking for a kind of adapter that connects directly to the SWD pads on the IC?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe you can search for types of Pogo pins that fit the IC?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;regards&lt;/p&gt;
