    I am looking for some pins?? that you can solder onto things like

    soldered on or separate so you have to solder them yourself.
    They are either straight or bent at 90 degrees, and in sets of 3, 5 or however many are needed. I don't mean header pins which just plug into a board.

     I had some spare, but in a sort out and tidy up I can't find them now
    so I need some more

    It's come to me now:male header pins, doh!

    The term "du Pont connector" is also useful in this context, for
    cable-end versions of these connectors using these pins and the sockets
    that they plug into.

    You can get this sort of thing from electronics shops, and the sorts of
    places that sell Raspberry Pis, etc. (but you probably knew that and
    just wanted the search term).

    Cheers,
    Daniel.
