led socket or connector

[Pierre]

I have been searching for 2 pin connectors that can be used for connecting to the pins of L.E.D's . I've been using the plug from old phone battery connectors by simply soldering some additional length. Any other simple ideas?

Pierre,

Welcome to this forum,

The smaller molex pin connectors work for LEDs too.

:)i use large intergrated circuit sockets for pluging parts into like scr as in my scr tester and i use the the pins from the other type of intergrated circuit socket as matrix pins to solder wires to rarether than the board, with the large ic sockets i cut them down to say 3 for scr tester or 4 if i needed more leg spaceing

use a 2 leg transister socket to plug leds into

Will a female Molex 0.062 receptacle work?

Steven, Where do you find a 2 leg transistor socket?

theres a few transister sockets out ones for the power transister and i use them and you can plug leds into them to, and theres 2 other ones which i got from dismantleing junk for parts like old tvs, you may find one, in them if your lucky
