Identify PCB to DIP socket connector
(1/1)
Circlotron:
Can anyone tell me what this kind of connector is called? Some years ago we used them to plug an add-on pcb into a micro’s dip socket to add new functions to customers’ existing boards. Now I am hoping to find a 32 pin version so we can replace an eprom with SMD 5V parallel flash memory.

Called a 150, I guess.

There's also SMT and board-edge IC-style pins for making DIP modules, which are probably newer and cheaper than Mill-Max.

"Round pin headres", "machined pin headers" or anything like that. In Poland they call them "precision pin headers" for reasons entirely elusive to me. They are very common, I'm sure every supplier has a lot of them from a bunch of vendors at varying quality. Look in "connectors" → "pin headers" or similar categories.
Ian.M:
Googling M-M turned pin header should find them.  Narrowing the search down to ones compatible with specific sizes of DIP socket is more difficult, however long SIL strips of M-M turned pins are readily available and can be cut to length as required. 

N.B. the SIL strips usually require an assembly jig to keep them vertical on both sides of a DIL footprint during hand-soldering.

The board-edge pins T3sl4co1l suggested are vastly superior as you can get ones that are thin and flat enough not to distort a leaf contact DIP socket, and they are also notably more robust as their pins can be straightened if bent, whereas turned pin headers have a nasty tendency to fracture at the base of the thin section of the exposed pin if abused.
