Pin Strips, my way to use them.

[ganchan]

look at the right one.

more space, simple solder.

i know, it's like an incest..  ;D

hi

i am already using this system !! it s fast and space saving

I am using the higher method but I bend the pins 90deg. so it is much lower. Those machined headers are pretty expensive in my country and that is only reason I don`t use them if I need much of them (any MB project)

[ganchan]

i use bending Pin too.

the other things bad is that you quite always broke the one near the cut.

[Sasha]

True, and I hate it!

I found that using regular pin headers like the ones in smash's kits along with some nicer crimps like the tyco cst-100 work very nicely and take very little room. I just add some heat shrink to each connection so the crimps don't ever touch each other.

I've been using standard crimps and headers.  Doing what I see here doesn't seem to offer much in the way of speed or ease, but it does offer much for space-savings.  I will use it in my mb6582 for connecting the control panel with the mainboard.  I can't bring myself to permanently solder the two together because I know eventually I'll want to take the whole thing apart for some reason.
