What do you call these female pins on digikey?

[jackorocko]

The 10 pin header pins on the left most part of the board J1 - J2. I need to connect some wires to these. What is it that I am looking for on digikey? I want to attach them to an arduino uno that has the female version of these pin headers. What would you suggest or use if you wanted to wire these two devices together. Would help if I knew what they actually called these things. Ideally I would like to have the male and female equivalent w/ crimps on the other end to attach my wires. But I don't have any idea if they even make such a thing.

Look for breakaway connector

thanks harald. But, what do they call the female version that would fit over top of the male breakaway connectors? I see I can use the male breakaways, solder my wire to them and then use a piece of heat shrink tubing to keep it isolated for the arduino. Still little confused on the driver board pins, I need a female connector. I am thinking about using these http://search.digikey.com/scripts/dksearch/dksus.dll that way I will have a removable connector with a wire connected to one pin and the other pin still accessible.

I found them on ebay called "Arduino wire jumpers"

I purchased some like this, although likely from another seller.

This is really what I need, but I refuse to buy from china!!! Delivery takes forever, especially around the holidays. I should be able to make these myself, but I can not for the life of me figure out where I can buy these types of connectors.

China is the industrial hub of the world now days, if you purchased from a supplier, chances are it origin was or is China, thats not expensive, put your had in your pocket, oh hang on have you got short arms and deep pockets, ha ha, sorry joking.

PS. all parcels in the Christmas period will be slower traveling, due to an increase in postal shipping traffic.

I am not poor, I would rather pay extra or do extra work then to wait 3 weeks for something as simple as a wire. It even says in the ebay ad not to buy if I can't wait 3 weeks for delivery and I can't wait. I find it unbelievable that I can not buy the male and female connectors like this online at an electronics supplier, like digikey. I am sure it is because I don't know the name of the product I am searching for.

Last thing I bought from china was in the summer and it took 4 weeks to arrive, never again!!!

Wow thats a long time, i can order components from UK suppliers and get them two to three days after i ordered them, the only wait is if an item is out of stock and the company is having to wait for a back order from there suppliers.

Some one out here must know the exact name for these jumpers, or correct terminology, its sems a popular system arduino, lots of topics on here about it on a weekly basis usually.

One of the US company's must have it or stock it, or can you buy the male or female attachments and crimp or solder them on yourself, i dont know just a thought.

Having a better closer look at Steve's link image of these link wires, could you not remove some new components leads, perhaps components you have no use for and solder up some diy leads use small diameter shrink rap on the connections, maybe use a vernier caliper on the stand offs to get a diameter, and diy some with a solid insert wire soldered to a suitable multi strand, again just an idea.

After hours of searching I finally found what I was looking for and in the process taught myself something about electronic suppliers and parts. When all else fails ask technical support.

These are the housings of the connectors in the picture that steve posted. On down the webpage you will find a column listed as "Associated products" This is where you will find the crimp on connectors both, pins (male) and sockets (female) , that fit into the housings. So now I can male my own wires of varying lengths with either male - male, female - female, male - female terminations. Gonna buy me a couple hundred now!!!

Good result Jackorocko, persistence paid off, now as you said you can make up your own jumper link options, i thought there must be something out there.
