Header pins -- are long pins obtainable, say up to 50mm?

I'm interested in sourcing stiff metal wire.

Imagine the wire used in header pins but longer. Up to 50mm. Header pins must be cut off longer stock.

Ninety degree elbows up to 50mm on each limb would also be useful.

Has anyone come across anything that matches?

Look here

The longest seen is about 37mm total length

You could contact them to see if they can get longer.
Or try an OEM like Samtec.com
Tell them you're after a part like this, but with longer leads

Thanks, Crossroads.

So they do exist. 37mm would probably do.
