I currently only have machine pin headers lying around.
However, none of my Dupont wires fit into them.
What sort of pre-made wire fit into these, and what are they named?

\$\begingroup\$ I would guess ones with machine pin ends. \$\endgroup\$– HearthApr 24, 2019 at 19:41

These types of machined headers aren't intended for wires. They are intended for pins of ICs in SIP or DIP packages.

\$\begingroup\$ They also work beautifully for 3mm / 5mm LEDs :) \$\endgroup\$– user98663Apr 26, 2019 at 10:37
