This thread was inspired by a PM received from Duka who asked me about MILL-MAX pins and sockets.
Unfortunately in Europe [especially here in eastern Europe] MILL-MAX is very hard to find so I looked for alternatives.
There is a socket and pin type in the Farnell catalog that is a good equivalent to the MILL-MAX:
A cheaper alternative is to buy some socket strips and cut them. I found them in an ordinary parts shop, I supose you can find them anywhere. It is important to look for the ones that are 1milimeter diameter, not the ones used for chips.
You just need a cutter tool and some patience:
Probably you will destroy at the begining two or three before you learn how to cut the plastic. Voila the needed socket.
detail
The pins are from pin strips cuted in pieces. The strip looks like the socket strip but it has pins. Here is a single pin.
and the pins in opamps
Hope this is usefull.
