[sdiy] Round pin 0.1" headers

[David G Dixon]

Hi Tom,

It's a "machined pin socket" that you're looking for, I think.  I'm not sure
whether they make 40-pin ones or not, but I believe they do.  I use 8-, 14-,
and 16-pin ones all the time, and have used 18-, 20-, and 28-pin ones as
well.  They're great for unplugging and replugging ICs.
