Looking for pins for "daughter" board standoff

[DaveC]

Looking for a source of pins to connect 2 PCBs.

An obsolete relay needs to be replaced with a modern one with different form
factor and pin layout. The new relay will be mounted to an adapter PCB and
this PCB will be connected to the old relay through-hole pattern via long
solder pins.

I seem to recall pins that have a larger diameter "shoulder" that fit snugly
into a 0.1 inch hole for soldering.

It's these pins that I can't seem to locate. I'm sure it's because my search
terms aren't very efficient.

What are these called? A link to a Mouser or DigiKey page?

Thanks.

They were sold as "solder post" and sometimes "solder pin". I have some
silver-plated ones from way back when but much too small for your case.

Are you sure about the 0.100" diameter? That's rather massive and almost
guaranteed to be a custom order. A machine shop can make those.

If you're thinking of what I think you're thinking of, you mean 0.1"
*center* holes -- i.e., the PCB holes for the .056 wire-wrap pin size --
then check Digikey (or Mouser or ...) for items in the Vector line. In
Digikey it's Vector -> Prototyping Products -> Accessories. Also pins
for smaller (.042") holes and other handy gadgets.

Many are non-stocked items but might give you a pointer to a part number
for further searches.

..025" wire-wrap pins, on .100" centers?

.025" wire-wrap pins, on .100" centers?

Dang. Yes, of course. No excuse, either, since I had the digital
calipers and some wire-wrap pins (used on a protoboard) sitting on my
desk at the time. ::sigh::

That happens. ;-) I added the '?' because there were at least two different
sized WW pins (though .056 on .100 is pretty big).

Collet pins?

No wait....
