Jan,
Nope, Similar, but not flea clips. Flea clips were also formed and
sold in strips, but were "U"-shaped--think miniature garden trowel--
with two "ears--squarish at the top, and a hole to insert an off-
board wire.
Whjen we did point to point perfboard wiring, flea clips were king. I
remember "graduating" to them from the much larger "Fahnstock" clips
that my tiny young hands found easier to use! (The circuits got more
complex at that point too<G>)
What I'm talking about is a "socket", rolled from the parent strip
into a tubular form, that will accept the lead of a dip or... Tinned
phosphor bronze, same as many other connectors.
