If I'm understanding correctly,  you're looking for what I would describe
as a "card edge breakout" board.
Something like this https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13988  but obviously
this is specific to a particular application?

To me it sounds like you want a micro grabber but I have no idea what you

That said, you pay for what you get.    I usually look around eBay for
