I recall seeing a product somewhere, but I can't remember the name of it. The product was designed for breakout boards, where you want your board to have the same pin size as a standard DIP IC, so your breakout board can perfectly plug into a DIP socket. It was some pins that came with a plastic applicator. You'd solder the assembly in place and then discard the applicator.
Has anyone else seen this product?
If not, is there a good alternative? IIRC 0.100 headers just don't plug into DIP sockets that well.
