BS2 pin connectors

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this. I've got a couple of BS2's in a
SIP form factor (OEM version) and am looking for a convenient way to
quickly attach wires to them. The idea is to mount the unit
horizontally and attach the wires to the pins using push-on
connectors. The diameter/spacing of the pins is just normal
breadboard spacing. I need to order the connectors but discovered
that I have no clue what size I need.
Anyone know? Recommendations on where I can get a bunch of them
cheaply?
Appreciated, as always! - John

I suggest to look for machined single in line (SIL) sockets. Watch
out to order some with standard 0.1"/2.54mm pitch (you may come by
some with 2.0mm pitch - these are not suitable). They come in certain
standard lengths such as 50 pin or so. You can then break or cut them
to the right size. In the US they are available from DigiKey or may
be your local electronics store or RadioShack.
