6mm x 16mm can't be standalone so there must be some sort of connector off the board to other circuits.


No connector, just 2-wire power to pads.

Beds of nails really need locating holes too. If you have enough space for the holes, that's the way.

If cost is so sensitive that a small connector is unfeasible, then I'm assuming high volume. High volume would exclude soldering wires to the board.


High enough that I don't want to be soldering, unsoldering and cleaning up.

Here is the pre-CAD design, to give you a little more idea. There is a 6-pin SOT23 on layer one, with a pad on each of the outside legs - intended to be for a bed of nails setup.

A reminder of the question: Does anyone know of a (probably bed-of-nails) solution that (would allow me to program the chip in-place and):
* is really inexpensive
* would be quick to set-up
* will hold the piece in place (remember the small size)
