I suppose they do look a bit like a socket in that shot, but they are
wirewrap -- or more accurately, jumper -- pins, though. And normally
pretty reliable, as much as any other jumper pins. They're quite short,
about the size of the jumper pins you'd see on older 3.5" or 5.25" disk
drives or a little shorter than Molex KK pins, much shorter than than
ordinary wirewrap pins, and don't have much thermal inertia.
