I am trying to find a reliable source of 24 pin 1x24 2.54mm/100mil pitch sockets. Would really appreciate any help.
LCSC carries none. DigiKey and Mouser don't seem to carry anything but wildly expensive Samtec ones. I know they exist because a few suppliers have them though at moderately high prices. It will be part of a kit for mounting a 48 pin microcontroller module so I am trying to keep the cost down. I'm hoping to find them under $0.15 USD.
There are a few aliexpress vendors that claim to have them but my experience with those types has been decidedly mixed. Would prefer to go through a real distributor for consistency - I want to be able to repeat an order and get the same thing. I did ask one US based supplier that has them (at $0.75) who their supplier is but, unsurprisingly, got no response.
You could use Arduino sockets, Digi-Key S7022. I use them on the CRAMPS board to plug 3 Pololu stepper drivers into.
They are about $1 in modest quantity.

Thanks, but they aren't 24x1 sockets.
Instead of getting one 24x1 socket you will probably have more luck finding a cheaper part if you use multiple <24P sockets. For example
- 3pcs of 8x1
- 4pcs of 6x1
- ...
“1x24 sockets for a module” casts a rather wide net. The module is? Round pins? Square pins? Size of pins? Plating?
Care to elaborate on exactly what it is you’re looking for?

I think others got it but a 1x24 2.54mm pitch socket for a bog standard 1x24 2.54 mm pitch pin header. Gold would be a nice option to have.
Samtec is an expensive option - SSW-124-01-G-S
Thanks, but they aren't 24x1 sockets.
The Digi-Key S7022 is EXACTLY a 1 x 24 (0.1") socket for .025 square pins. It is made by Sullins, their part # PPTC241LFBN-RC.

Usually they don't fit the equivalent larger socket, i.e. you cannot fit 3 8x1 into a 24x1 space. 8x1 x 3 is longer than 24x1

Yes. My first thought was 2 12x1s. But that doesn't work.

Agree and the DigiKey S7057-ND is the same in gold. If that’s not a bog standard 24x1 header socket...
Saying that’s not a 24x1 is no different than someone looking for repair help saying it doesn’t work.
The problem is price. The rest of the assembly kit costs well less than 2 of those sockets.

Well, you might be able to find these somewhere in China for $0.15, but certainly not in the US. If you need a whole bunch of them, you might be able to buy direct from the manufacturer. I buy some 2-part screw terminal connectors from a manufacturer's rep for HALF the Digi-Key price. I only need to buy in 50-piece quantity to get the better price. BUT, I need to order 8 - 12 weeks in advance.
Jon
It depends on the quantity you need. If you can buy 1,000 the best option is 4uconnector. Even if you pay express shipping you can buy them at a fraction of the retail price, but you need to wait 4-8 weeks as they don't stock in advance. I have been using them for 10 years, very reliable manufacturer.
You could buy anything bigger than 24 and just cut it down to 24 pin ... i used nail clippers in the past for quick and easy cutting.
You could use one of those rotating polishing tool to quickly polish / remove a bit of plastic from the end of connectors if you want to combine 2 x 12 or 3 x 8 or 2 x 10 + 1 x 4
Alternatively, maybe you could redesign your board to have the pins in 2 rows (unless it's some hat for a pi or arduino, forcing you to keep it 1 row)
If you specify the request then maybe you get a better help, ok I know that you mentioned the size 24x1 and the footprint spacing 2.54mm this will orient all the users to suggest you to use a bigger socket and cut it out or to combine small sockets until you get the needed size.
If you have some limitations on your design you need to mention this otherwise i don't see any problem from combining multiple suckets.
about suppliers, have you searched for this socket on Amazon or Ebay, I know, not the appropriate place to look for electronics stuff but since you don't have many options then you can give it a try
I buy all my parts from Farnell and I recommend it for you
I think you have prematurely ruled out AliExpress. They're perfect for this sort of thing. And the prices you will likely see make it worth an occasional misfire. Though I don't expect you'll get a misfire.

As was discussed earlier, multiple sockets like 2 12x1 don't work together because they are slightly longer than 12 times 2.54mm.
Cutting several hundred sockets from longer ones does not work for me.

Can you elaborate why not? We produce tens of thousands of boards per year, most with at least one pin header. For the most part the team just snip apart 40 pin headers using a pair of cutters.
Edit: we do the same with header sockets too; they just get cut apart and the cut edge left as-is. I've never had any complaint about the aesthetics of it but I accept it would be less than ideal for some specific applications.

Heh

Breaking apart snappable headers is one thing. The kid of sockets I want to use don't come in snappable lengths. So, I'd have to cut them apart and sand or grind the edges to make them smooth and professional looking. Way too much time.
