Header pins

I am trying to find a source for some breadboard header pins, I have seen plenty of header pins, but nothing that I could use on a breadboard. The standard header pins, one side is short, meant for soldering to a pcb, but does not work out well for the breadboard. I tried googling, but nothing comes up.

Thanks

    Just look for longer pins, and then slide the plastic down a tad to be able to insert onto a breadboard...
    I have done it this way and works slick.

    Look around at www.digikey.com

    "SIP header" or "SIP strip"

    There are assorted dimensions and configurations (pin lengths, right angle, etc.)

    Update -- The more pins on a strip, the harder it is to push into a breadboard.· The pins are better anchored in the strip in some than others.
