surface mounted sockets for wires

[Noobster]

Is there any type of micro electronics socket that I can use in my simple LED project?

Essentially I would like to just have a small piece of veroboard with a battery holder a switch and two banks of sockets into which I could plug in wires for my LEDs. Ideally I would like to sockets to cater for up to six wires each. Then if I needed to install the circuit in a different model I could just solder up some LEDs with longer wires and unplug the shorter ones.

I like the look of breadboard jumper wires, but a breadboard would be much too bulky to fit into my models.

Check out the Mill-Max and Samtec websites.
Don't know if they'll have what you want, but they make the sockets I use.

You can use an IC socket.
This one for example has 2*7 pins and is SMD mounted.

Ok, could I plug male breadboard Jumper Cable into them? I'm liking it in terms of height.

However I think I may have found what I need below:

All I need do is snip the female socket off the jumper wires, and cut to the desired length, then solder my resistors and LEDS on the ends? In this way I can swap the same basic circuit board into multiple models with different length LED leads?
