...and Berg (0.1") connectors are now Dupont, even though Dupont doesn't make them anymore, and has had nothing to do with them since 1993. Everyone called them "Berg" in 1978 when I was first exposed to them, even though Dupont had acquired the product line from Berg in 1972.

I'm a bit younger and I always called 0.1" spacing headers "Berg connectors" until the last couple of years when everyone started calling them DuPont.

I don't know which is the horse and which is the cart, but AliExpress sells them as DuPont and that's how everybody in the Arduino scene refers to them.
