What pins are used for breadboard cables?

What pins are used for breadboard cables?

Male and female I need. No need for housing, I can shrinktube them. Right now I use XH for the female, but they a bit bulky due to the locking pin.

Thanks.

Dupont was the keyword.

And the promiscuous girlfriend is here:  https://protosupplies.com/product/2-54mm-female-pins/

In China I can find them with 杜邦 (Dupont) + 2.54. And one can add 金 for gold plated if preferred.

My cheap breadboard cable all sort of of oxidized. And the cable is so bad I can't strip it without cutting strands.

A good page about it:  https://www.mattmillman.com/info/crimpconnectors/dupont-and-dupont-connectors/
