I have looked at SIL turned connectors for 2.54mm pitch for use in strip veroboard and the s-dec boards, however i cannot find out the internal diameter of the holes in the connector . And does anyone sell plug in connector leads to fit these SIL connectors ?.
Any help appreciated please.

If you mean the turned pin ic socket strips the matching male pins are 0.5mm diameter. I don’t think they are available in cable mount style.

Yes i have seen the leads with a pin at each end to fit the ubiquitous S-Dec board.

I looked at the SIL connectors and there is a myriad of choices however these may fit the S-Dec hole spacing and diameter.
I measured the hole spacing on the vero board and it is also 2.54mm so it looks like a useful connector to have in a single in line connector strip to cut at a chosen length.
As for pins for the SIL not sure yet , it takes a lot of trolling through suppliers .
