You'll have to find out how to get some, but check out product # 3620 at
mill-max.com.

Die-Tech (die-tech.org) makes leadframes, including for SIPs, and might give
you a substantial sample. Their products 5000-5006 look exactly right.

These are from a discussion on Usenet a few months ago that I happened to
remember.
