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.



The ones we used at Microdyne were made by Berg.


"Berg" is no more. Those connectors are made by FCI now, who also makes
other connector lines.



I left manufacturing in 2001.


See my reply to my own post, which has usable URLs.



I could probably fill a five gallon bucket with used ones, after I
finish cleaning up my shop. I already found a dozen for him, and will
look for a few more after a much needed nap.
