Hi all.
I've tried in-vain to find the info online (meaning non-forum based question).
Those "terminals" that you crimp onto multi-core wire that allows you to easily insert it into a breadboard...what are they called? Ferrules? What size do I buy? And, do you call them "terminals" or "connectors"?
Thanks for the help.
How many pins do you need?
For what use?
I think connectors is the word describing what you want.
Take a look here:
You will probably find out what you want.
Good luck!
You could make your own.
Hey thanks! 
That instructables thing looks cool.
How many, not sure really, it all depends if I can get my hands on solid core wire. For all the other wires I'd like to use to correct pins that go in the breadboard - its just for future reference.
I've seen those same pins used in the boxes housing the PLC components (Alan Bradly, Siemans etc) and I thought its probably the same thing as used with breadboards (see these wire kits for breadboard prototyping: Overstock.com: Online Shopping - Bedding, Furniture, Electronics, Jewelry, Clothing & more ) AHH! They call them "jumper leads" so are those pins called jumpers?
Our industrial electronics suppliers will have the stuff, but the one is particularly rude cause if you don't know what you are asking for, they sure as hell wont try and help you determine what it is you need. >:(
no the pins are pins or if connected in a row male headers, jumpers are just bits of wire to jump from one point to the other, depending on the application they can be single bits of solid wire, ones with pins attached, network cables, audio cables etc
if your looking for similar to what you posted
they work ok, if you want more manageable items for on a breadboard you need to be looking at something more like
I have both, though my long jumpers are from sparkfun (and quite expensive for the 10 crappy things) and my little box of wires is from radio shack, but its hard to screw up wire
a cheaper source of the stuff is used solid core telephone or network cable, I have had a 1 mile spool of 2 connector telephone cable since like 1996 though its starting to get a little low heh
If you have multi-stranded wire, and its a small enough gauge, you could make your own "pins" by striping about 7mm or more, twist then end tightly together, then tin the end really well, so that it is "solid". Then slip a piece of heatshrink tubing over the end, so that half is on the solid end, and half on the insulation, then shrink it down (this forms a bit of strain relief between the solid end and the rest of the non-tinned stranded wire beyond the insulation).
"Lead free" solder works really well for making breadboard jumpers out of normal stranded wire.
Are you looking for something like this?
You can buy just the crimp pins & housings & make your own as well.
I used to use solid phone wire also, but I recently bought packages of thin guage flexible wire terminated at pins with little pieces of insulation, and I will not go back to solid wire!
The wires came in lengths of 3", 5," 7", 10 different colors.
They seem to have little molded insulators slid over the ends & glued in place.
I wish I could recall where I found them, they work very nice.
You might try a PM to boffin1, he is in South Africa also, see if he can recommend places to purchase from.
Found them!

Purchased them when I bought my Duemilanove from the same place back in August or September. These work nice, and very inexpensive.
Thanks for the additional replies. I will probably order a nice wire kit for starters cause if I want to make my own I will have to purchase crimping pliers.
Will give boffin1 a ping, thanks for the links CrossRoads
Ok, good luck.
Looks like NETRAM has something similar
Not sure how prices compare.
Couldn't find similar at yebo.

I think Netram is a bit expensive hence me looking around for a long term solution - plus I have this thing about making things myself whenever I can.
Did you see where someone suggested using solder on stranded wire to make it easier to use in breadboards?
Yup! Saw that, will try it to also practice some soldering skills 
But for my contradicting personality I like either the solid core wire or the pins. The pins idea is just cause I want to be able to make jumpers with crimped pins of any length...silly really ;D
Cheapest is to just get solidcore wire for now. The few items that might come with multicore I will just try that soldering move - think the piezzo buzzer I ordered has multicore wire.
Thanks
For Arduino type stuff I prefer solid wire, but for PLCs/120/240 volt stuff I prefer stranded, works better with the larger terminals
