Does anybody know of a source for plain metal pins? We need round, maybe 16 mil diameter, featureless, gold-plated brass or phosphor-bronze pins, a few tenths of an inch long. We could cut longer stuff.
Thanks,
John

If these guys don't have it then you don't really need it.

Would this work? Comes on a spool.

That would work... If I can get some here by Friday.
MWS has similar stuff, if I can get it.
Thanks

They have brass and bronze wire, but only down to 25 mil diameter. And it's not plated.
They have small piano wire, but I don't think it solders very well.
On the plus side, they do stock chicken wire.

Well, I just bought a MIG welder and am learning how to use it. It'll do
1/4" steel easily, so your 0.016" pins should be a breeze. Just let me know. It's been a while since I've been up to Fisherman's Wharf, and I'm yearning for some chowdah (although Pismo Beach is better for that).Bob

Rumor has it that most of it comes from a Cambell's can.

We have 20 mil copper-nickel alloy wire. They are for pin socket connectors and solder well with enough flux. If you send me your address, i can mail you some samples.

In gradual* school we use to crack open sub-D connectors and take the pins and plugs out for use as single wire connectors in low temperature probes. The pins and plugs were held in by little C- clips. The pins were nice phosphur bronze with a gold flash.

Mill-Max has pin strips for PCB use.

Perhaps something in here will strike your fancy.
Hard to find stock, but Mill-Max is good about shipping off samples.
