[Noisebridge-discuss] Solderless led holder suggestions

[Jonathan Foote]

There are header connectors like this:

But that may be a little loose for LEDs as they are designed for .025"
square header pins

A better bet is something like a "JST connector" which is designed for
0.5 mm metric pins, about the width of an LED lead (roughly 0.02")

HTH!
