I still can't find the link, but one of the ways I do it is to pull
the pins out of a chp socket or an inline header. they come out
pretty easy.
then put them on a second socket for alignment and spacing and then
put them thru the PC board.
I can solder the bottom and then remove the upper carrier or if I did
not puress them down, I can solder with the upper carrier in place.
But, this method requires a second device and that is what I was
trying to get away from.
