probably to go to my favorite vendor for RasPi/Arduino junk (AdaFruit,
perhaps).? I'd buy an assortment of shrouds, of the sort they use to
build their cables (which fit over header pins like these) -- the
assortment is by far the cheapest way I know to obtain them.? Then I'd
buy the crimp pins that go inside, and insert them without wires.? If I
was super paranoid, I'd use my flush cutters to trim off a bit of the
area meant to crimp the insulation, so that no metal was near the top
when I put my connector on the header.
I don't know if it's applicable, but I use hunks of extruded polystyrene
insulating foam to protect the pins on my wire-wrapped projects.
