I need a couple of dozen of these, but I don't know what to call them.

You know those twisted pair wires on a DIP header?

Like the ones used to connect LEDs and switches to a computer motherboard?

I've been googling all over creation, but lack the definitive term to
describe them.

Anybody out there have a clue? Or a box full of 'em?

You could solder wires to these receptacles:

You could -- but the usual ones used as described have
individual crimp pins on the wires which slip and lock into the
connector body.

The proper crimp tools tend to be expensive -- unless you luck
out in an eBay auction -- including lucking into finding the right ones
for the terminals in questions.

These, also, should be available with crimp-on pins instead of
solder tails. They should be somewhere close by the others in the
DigiKey catalog.

Enjoy,
