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?

Housings like this:

And a crimper like this:
AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

(finding crimpers is kind of a black art, unless you want to pay $500
for one that'll stand up well in continuous use by a drunken gorilla, or
$1500 for a pneumatic foot-operated one that'll stand up well in
continuous use by a tiny Chinese lady who's ****ed off at her husband,
you, and everyone else in the world).

If you're seriously interested, I'll take a picture of my crimper and
maybe we can figure out where to get another one.


Sorry about the long URLs getting hacked up.
