Heathkit used those in some kits.i used to have reliability issues with them and had to reseat the chips. Better off to use the sockets with the round tooled pins for best reliability

Hello Roland.
Yes, they were/are Molex pins. I still have 2 strips of 100 but don't really like them without the plastic cover. I know that Molex later sold the plastic cover strips but I don't have any
I did not say Molex pins because that is so generic now as Molex makes a lot of different pins and most have nothing to do with IC sockets.
Thank you.

Hello Jim Pruitt:
Could you be referring to "MOLEX PINS"?
Years ago I purchased a bag-full of these items from a now defunct electronics mail order supplier.
I still have a few of them, and use them as required.
You can make any size IC socket you require using these pins.
Regards,
Roland F. Harriston

In the 70's I bought some strips of ic pins. You broke off the number you needed per row and stuck them in the holes and soldered them (top and bottom if you wanted as there was no plastic carrier for them) and then broke off the metal flange to separate the pins. I can't remember what they were called but they were used and sold in the Hal ST6 rtty converter kits I built.
