I started with this... and then I saw a little round circle of thick 
clear acrylic on my desk (had been cut out with a hole saw), and a light 
went on... a few holes drilled in that, stick the pins on through the 
holes, solder on some #14 wire, a little epoxy dab, tape it up until it 
sets, and there it is, a removable connector! I run clip leads to it 
now, but a little more soldering and it would probably be a good 
permanent one.
