RGB LED holder/socket

Yeah, I'm sure they work fine for LEDs.  LEDs seem to have about the same leg size as the 0.1" header pins.
It may be that it would be difficult to make a connector with crimp pins spaced at 0.05".  That's awfully close together and there wouldn't be much room in between the pins for the housing.

Yeah thats kinda what I was thinking too. Hmmm. Oh well, I'll just have to keep them soldered. Thanks for the help.

whammoed:
I suppose you could use two of those connectors and bend two LED leads (1 and 3) slightly forward and bend the other two (2 and 4) slightly back.  The LED would not "snug" up to the connector of course.

Franco B:
Yeah I have been thinking about that. I'm not sure how neat it would end up looking and it may be a bit bulky for what I want.

I think I may try and get some flat cable with a similar pitch and solder that to the legs.
