The ones I have seet have essentially a litle "slot" at the top of the
pin to hold onto the board.  If you ever look at the "surfboards" they
use for using SMT parts on a breadboard, that is what I am talking
about.

Here is a (so-so) picture of one of them:

The pins at the bottom hold onto the board with a clip that is on the
front and back, held on by solder.  Essentially, I want to make a custom
surfboard, and I need it to stand up vertical like this.  I am just
looking for the pins at the bottom.
