I use nixie tube sockets for all sorts of connections.... and never owned a nixie tube.

100pcs Nixie/VFD Tube Socket Pins(1mm) Gold Plated IN-12 IN-18 IN-2 IN-8 ZM1040

I use wire wrap pins as the male end and the nixie tube socket as female connectors:

Perhaps nixie tube sockets are too large for ICs.... I don't know.

I’ve had reliability issues with those. Maybe if you can find something gold plated , but the tin ones I have had to reseat chips periodically because they would quit making a connection

& nbsp;

Figured if anyone might know it might be you guys.

 

I am making some double sided boards that will not be plate through – so I need these metal IC socket pins you install in a strip and then cut after soldering on both sides.  I have a roll of about 500 but will need many more.. I just can’t find more because I don’t know what their proper name is.  I’ve tried ‘IC socket strip’ but I get the strips with the plastic tops.

Many thanks if anyone knows what the proper name is and/or where to get them.
