I use the pins from transition connectors or DIP component carriers, they're the same thickness as IC pins; insert through PC, solder and clip off excess. There are also the Batten and Allen edge-mount pins: http://www.dasarodesigns.com/product/batten-and-allen-ba3760-dill-leadframe-dip-pcb-edge-clip-pins/ On Thu, Aug 8, 2019 at 8:30 AM Pasi Lassila <pasi.lassila_at_gmail.com> wrote: > The long pin female headers I have used are thin enough not to destroy > leaf spring IC sockets. > > -Pasi > > On Thu, 8 Aug 2019 at 15:22, Mia Magnusson <mia_at_plea.se> wrote: > >> My impression is that any other kind of pins except those on a real IC >> or those on the cheap budget sockets will ruin the holes in a budget >> socket, and then the user can't remove your adapter without installing >> for example a machined socket between the CIA and the existing budget >> socket. >> >> If you have enough energy/time and are willing to do some nasty work >> you can solder your PCB on to a cheap socket.
