These particular 3.5mm terminal blocks are our favorite: big enough for a range of wire gauges, easy to adjust with a screwdriver, and not too chunky. The only down-side is that they do not fit into 2.5mm spaced holes (they're 3.5mm spaced) - but they do fit in most perf/proto-board if you rotate them diagonally.

Three rows!? Yes! These chunks of 0.1" header has yet-another-row - handy for when you want to connect cables that come in sets of three, like perhaps sensors, or servos. These plug into any standard 0.1" spacing perf-boards or other PCBs and work nicely with our female-ended wire sets.

This socket is designed for DIP chips of up to 40 pins and up to 0.6" wide. So really, its good for any size chip you'll find. What's nice about it is it can snap into an existing circuit board or socket that is designed for a 40-pin 0.6" chip so you may not have to redesign the board! This socket is gold plated so it will last a long time.

They're what you see on the back of nearly every synthesizer and drum machine. These are nice sturdy jacks, and breadboard-friendly, with all the pins on 0.1" spacing for easy wiring.

XBees are so cute and tiny but if you're using them in a circuit you'll be annoyed to find that your classic 0.1" headers don't fit them! That's because they use 2mm spacing instead of 2.54mm spacing. That's why you need a special socket like this one.

Instead of soldering wires to your perf board, solder in these 0.1" pitch terminal blocks. There's a little spring contact so you can pull back on the plastic bit and slip in your 20 to 26 AWG solid or stranded-core wires. Each terminal block is electrically isolated from those next to it.

You know those ZIF sockets we have for DIP chips? Well these are just like that but for SMT parts! Yeah, that's right, now you can program and test out your favorite new parts in TQFP-32 packages. This test sockets is good for any QFP-32 in a 7mm square body. Simply open the latch, place the chip in carefully and then close the top over it. The chip is held securely against gold 'fingers' in the socket.

Each pack contains 5 x 16-pin long headers, 0.1" pitch, that can be stacked next to each other on a 0.1" grid and broken apart easily with pliers or diagonal cutters. They're even gold plated so they wont oxidize!

Each pack contains five 36-pin long headers, 0.1" pitch. They're even gold plated so they wont oxidize! You can cut these down to different sizes fairly easily. First, count how many positions you want as the final piece, then pull out the next pin using a pair of pliers. Finally, cut through the empty spot with diagonal cutters. You can clean off the half-spot using a file or with the diagonal cutters. These are 'standard' female 0.1" headers such as used on dev boards like the Arduino. If you have something with 0.1" square-pin male header on it its almost certainly going to match with these (the only exception is 'round' swiss-pin headers, but those are not as common).
