While browsing for more robust solutions to those plastic dupont jumper wires, I came across these wires:

enter image description here

The datasheet didn't really provide any information and I haven't come across these wires yet. I was wondering how are these applied to pins. I have 0.64mm square / SMD pins on my board. Do you just slide them over for easy reversibility or do they have to be pinched with pliers or perhaps heated?

If you remove the plastic piece from your everyday jumper wires you'll find a small metal piece pinches on(seen in picture below). This is the exact same thing instead that over the metal piece is heat shrink instead of plastic enter image description here
