Square/Round female single pin connectors

[lukier]

Hi,

this was bugging me for a while. Where to get the nice square-round female single pin connectors, the same that are used on HP or Tektronix logic probes or some probe adapters? I would like to DIY some logic analyser lead sets or probe adapters. Tektronix ones cost an arm and a leg, even on eBay, and these things are pretty much just these female pin connectors with 100-150 Ohm resistors and normal 0.1" two row pin header connector on the other end.

The common solution is to use the standard Dupont pin headers (Picture 1), but these are IMHO rather crappy.

Another option that came to my mind is removing the metal part somehow from the precision turned sockets (Picture 2) and putting these in a heat shrink tube. But do Keysight or Tek resort to this kind of handcraft?

I've checked Farnell and Digikey, googled for images but nothing comes up. Is there an off the shelf part - precision wire to female pin header connector?

I wonder if they are using pcb or crimp style pin sockets, surely they exist as crimpable or just use pcb sockets.

Didn't know about Mill-Max, they have some other cool things I was looking for (spring loaded pin headers), thanks!

That's probably it, something like 1134-0-18-15-47-27-10-0 or 0740-0-18-80-34-27-10-0 (solder cup in this case):

Not extremely cheap, but I could probably buy 50 ($23-$25). I wonder how much better this is than just DIYing things out of cheap machined pin socket headers.

A main supplier of this type of connectors/sockets is the Swiss company Preci-Dip.

Looking at "tek_nice_2.gif" I could imagine that the connectors you are looking for is either type 65007 or 65009:
