Is there any online pcb fab company that will do dip pins(round and not
flat) on a simple pcb? Something that is relatively cheap. (mainly need to
fab just a pcb with TH's and dip pins and routes with maybe gold plating)

Not 100% sure what you mean there (what has DIP pins got to do with
PCB manufacture?), but try www.pcbcart.com
They are cheap, have an excellent online quote system, deliver when
they say they will, and gold plating doesn't really cost any extra.

Cause I gotta use some dip pins on the package to insert into something
else. (it must be dip.. don't ask cause that is not important) I know
it can be done cause I have seen it. I imagine it is not a common
thing. But essentially its just a TH like component(although maybe not
exactly).

Not making any real sense... Do you mean you need some .1" header pins
sticking out of the PCB where a dip package would go? Also wtf TH's...

This doesn't make sense.
What "package"?
Perhaps you mean having embedded machine pin type DIP socket pins in
the PCB?
Like this maybe?:

and on a pcb.

I call them DIP pins cause that makes sense to me. They are the pins used in
DIP packages. Well, DIP normally uses flattened versions which is why I
mentioned the round ones(they are more sturdy).

I imagine if one can buy the pins then its just a matter of drilling the
hole and inserting
them in the hole. In that case though I'm not sure how to solidly secure
them to the pcb.

Thanks,

You're talking complete nonsense. Whatever it is you mean, you're using the
wrong words for it.

The MillMax pins i mentioned (and ther are other sizes) fit the
"round" description.
But.
Try to find an assembly house to press-fit them into a PCB is another
story...it is as if you do not have enough money.

Key words: press-fit, special tool, uncommon operation.

The MillMax 3154 may be exactly what you are looking for.
If you are in the US, or if the postage to your country is less than
$5.50 i will front the postage and the pins.

Perhaps you are referring to Cage Jacks as made by Cambion

Samtec has a huge number of pins in their product line. They will do
specials that don't go too far from existing products.

One of the easiest ways to attach pins to a PCB is to solder them into
holes. I assume because of this you need a pin with a point on both
ends.
I imagine if one can buy the pins then its just a matter of drilling the
hole and inserting
them in the hole. In that case though I'm not sure how to solidly secure
them to the pcb.

You use a plated through hole and have a pad on both faces. The
solder ends up holding it quite securely.

Wow!! Your giving them away!?!?! Your either very nice or a evil mail
bomber ;) Curious as to why the limit of $5.50 and not $6.00? ;)

I think these might be the things I'm talking about. They are very similar
to the ones in the link that moose gave but just "one sided".

I actually have a small smt to dip pcb converter that converts some smt
eprom chip to dip. I was able to heat up one of the pins and pull it out so
it seems like its soldered in there. Not sure if this is the best way as I
probably need something a bit stronger.

I imagine if these are the correct pins I could just drill the holes like
normal TH components and then make a simple press to press them in?
(assuming a slightly smaller hole size) or possibly bond them in somehow?

Thanks,
Jon

Just solder them in, that is how that sort of thing is usually
assembled. I've made plug-in modules like that at home with my kitchen
sink PCB process.

No peep; anyone else wants to chirp?

And all this time I've been cutting short lengths of 22 gauge wire. I
assume they're solderable (home-etched boards aren't PTH, and mine are
usually thinner than 0.060 anyway)? Chirp!
