Pin header connectors

Hi all, You know those little connectors used on a PC motherboard to connect the speaker, power switch, hard drive LEDs etc, the ones with a single row of (usually 2, 3 or 4) pins. What are they called, are they easily obtained from suppliers, and how easy are they to attach to a cable if I wanted to make up my own cable?

Thanks very much

Maplin,

have them under "0.1? Series Socket Housing", in various configurations.

You can also get crimp versions.

Easy to use - although you may find it easier, and cheaper, to salvage used ones and join your new wires to the existing wires and heatshrink the join.
