I have those connectors, including single pin, all over the place.  But these
are smaller, and the single pin connectors will not clamp on them, and touch
more than one pin at a time.

I think they're approximately half the spacing of the regular (2.54 mm) pin
headers.  On digikey I can find housings that are probably right, but then I
also need the connectors and a crimper to attach them to a cable.  If I can get
a cable with the connector on it from somewhere, that would be much easier.

Another option is to solder a cable to the board, but I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks,
Bas
