The outside dimensions almost match from the specifications sheet, but the inside does not allow the pins to fit properly. I have had better luck ordering from Jameco with this particular family of connector housings <a href="http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_100812_-1" rel="nofollow">Jameco Discrete Wire Housing (2 position)</a>. I hope this helps.</p>

The cheap ones really are garbage. The connectors are terrible and fall apart after just one or two uses and then require five or ten minutes with a soldering iron to repair.<br>
These from Sparkfun really are worth the price. They have nice, sturdy connectors.</p>

Yes, the 75 for $7 seems like a much better deal until you spend 5 hours debugging a circuit only to find a bad jumper wire. I have had these wires fail twice now so I no longer use them. The cheaper wires broke underneath the rubber where they are crimped to the tips. The rubber continued hold on the tip and conceal the damage so they still looked and felt normal.<br>
I have had no such issues with the premium wires from sparkfun.</p>

Thanks SparkFun.</p>

I have another set of jumper wires that I really want to like, they're really flexible and come in exactly the right lengths, but the molded ends are just slightly too big to use next to each other in headers or breadboards. Needless to say the ones listed here get a lot more use.</p>
