I need to make an adaptor board to replace a hard to find IC. I was

MillMax makes round pins that either solder into holes or get pressed in.
Wasn't quite what I was looking for though.

Thanks for any assistance in jogging my memory.

Thanks Boris,

I checked and the digikey numbers are for a Millmax and 3M header
respectively. The 3M part has .025" square pins. The Mill-Max part has
square pins on one side and .018" round pins on the other. I will need .020"
(max) round pins to fit an existing screw machine socket so that part series
looks like the series we'll go with.

The interplex pins are interesting and should be inexpensive but who wants
to buy reels of 30K for a short run. Pity that digikey doesn't offer these
in cut tape.
