I used to use those. They are made by Molex and should still be available.
One "kit vendor" I used to use during my infancy referred to these as "flea
clips". I do NOT know if this was Molex's name for them, or only THEIR
nick-name. Yeah, they are good for the odd application, but TINNED BRASS? Oh, it's
OK for prototypes, etc., but don't expect 7 out of 10 to retain good contact
with all-16 or 24 IC-pins, etc., for a decade!
