How much hassle is it to cut them off a longer strip (like getting 6 from a
36 pin connector)?
SOME makes are "notched" between pins so that they BREAK neatly between pins.
If you are a SKILLED and CAREFUL tinkerer, you might use a "razor-file" or
whatever to nick the phenolic between, yourself. Else, they will PROBABLY
break "AT" a pin, so you will have to figure on LOOSING one pin per break. Simply
sand the raggedy ends square, again. Takes years of "doin' it!" Such CAN
be a frustration, first few times, but once you are old and ugly like me, from
having DONE such thousands of times, you will survive!
Lotsa luck! Jan Rowland
