Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Slightly OT: What are these called?

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\ufffdve 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
