[Noisebridge-discuss] Solderless led holder suggestions

[Lee Sonko]

How about servo extension cables? I think they're exactly what you're
looking for but haven't considered it that carefully.

 

They're on eBay (mostly Hong Kong dealers)... for $0.20 each in bulk

And I'm sure there are US dealers.

 

These are normally used to control radio controlled airplanes and the like.
They usually have 3 wires in them.

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!
