  No, not Mictors...They are nice, but these were connectors that didn't
have a mating side that you'd mount on a board.  There'd be a footprint
that you'd place on the PCB and the pogo pins on the connector would
just touch the pads.

  That part is easy of course.  What I saw in a magazine several years
ago were shrouded connectors with pogo pins in the middle but the outer
shroud had little clips on it, and they'd snap into holes in the board
around the pad field and hold the pogo pins into place.
