Electronic – Do they make triangle-shaped headers

connectorcrimpheaderwiring

I've been working with some PIR sensors from Panasonic, and I was wondering if there are any types of female headers/connectors that I could use to wire the three pins of the sensor without directly soldering wires to the connector. I've been looking, but I haven't been able to find any types of connectors which would fit.

Off the top of your head, are there any types of connectors which could be used to easily wire this?

If it helps, the sensor fits into a standard breadboard as in the image below:

For some more information, here's a link to the digikey part (MFG P/N:)

And here is a link to the datasheet. All sensors have the same pins at the bottom:

TE Connectivity's 8058-1G23 is a PCB-mount TO-5 socket that should either fit the sensor or be very, very close. The -1G29 is the same but with solder pockets instead.
