Single (1 pos) 2.54mm 0.1" crimp housing
klmbk:
Suppose I'd like to make some jumper wires for the standard 2.54mm pitch rectangular pin header or socket.
I must be missing something obvious, but so far I could only find two products for single crimp housing.
Amphenol 65039-036LF ~ $1.20
TE 7-87499-2 ~ $0.60
I've a problem with their pricing. That makes up to $2+ for one jumper wire. That can't be it?

Forgot to say I was thinking of buying them from one of the usual big name distributors. As in adding them to an existing shopping list.
But of course a bag of these on e.g. Ebay seems to be much cheaper, it seems like the way to go is to wait for the shipping and then be done with it.

The way I make test leads of this type is to solder insulated wire into a suitable crimp contact, e.g. https://www.harwin.com/products/M20-1160042/ and then use heatshrink tubing for strain relief and insulation over the contact body. Every few years I buy a reel of 1000 contacts (usually a Molex part) for this purpose.
For the wire, I typically use leftover ribbon cable, either conventional or twisted pair. PVC insulation on cheap ribbon cable means you have to be careful and quick when soldering it, but with practice it is not a problem.
This makes for cheap test leads when prototyping.
