what's this connector called?

Question

I'm trying to find something but I don't know what it's called. What I'm looking for is a means of permanently connecting two PCBs. It's basically just a row of 1" long bare solid 22 gauge wires, held in position by a spacer. Sort of like a pin header, but with longer wires and not as beefy.

I can find flex cable jumpers, but I'm looking for something somewhat rigid - as rigid as a row of 22ga solid wires, anyhow. And I'm hoping this will be inexpensive: < $1 each, for 20 positions, in qty 100.

If anyone knows what these are called or who makes them, that will be a help. Thanks!

try wire wrap headers, maybe get some surplus wirewrap 40 pic ic sockets  and cut em up.-- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client:

Those look very good. They're not quite the same as what I had in mind, but they would work just as well or maybe even better, and the price is right. Thanks!

(And thanks also to Jim D.; ripping apart some 40-pin wire-wrap sockets is a great idea for my prototyping, although I don't really want to do it for production.)
