content: These are crimp style connectors. Here's an example from Amphenol.https://www.amphenol-icc.com/media/wysiwyg/files/documentation/datasheet/boardwiretoboard/bwb_pv_wtb.pdfBut you should check the distance: 2.54mm or 2.5mm.If you don't want to crimp them (special tool is required) you need to salvage old computer stuff.

content: Generically, google for "2x5 dupont". You'll get plenty of hits for the housings with or without crimp connectors. And a crimper, if you don't have one. Crimping pins is quite a pain if you've never done that before. Buy extra so you can screw up.Alternately, there are pre-crimped ribbon cables that should suit your needs. Search for "dupont jumpers". Among other hits, you'll see some 40-pin ribbon rainbow colored cables pre-crimped to 1-pin connectors in several gender choices. Lengths typically are 20, 30 or 40 cm. You can strip off 10 wires from the 40, remove the 1-pin housings (lift the locking tab with a sharp point and they pull off), and plug the pins into your 2x5 housing in any wiring arrangement you need.

content: Harwin M20 is another series of similar connectors. If you're looking for larger quantities, any decent cable assembly contractor should be able to produce such and assembly given a suitable drawing

content: maybe you can use 2x5 IDC connectors , like on old floppy drives. You don't need to deal with any wire modification and it still can fit the 2.54 header (if the locking pin does not interfere with something)

content: Quote from: westfw on May 20, 2019, 11:04:36 amExcept the OP poster pretty explicitly said (in the picture markup) that he didn't want a ribbon cable connector. Although it's actually preferable if one is easily able to reorganize the data lines at the "doesn't matter" end of the cable.
