P2-EVAL connector

I’m trying to find a source for the female 6x2 connector (0.100 centers) that mates with the header pins on the P2 EVAL. In the past I picked these up as part of connector assortments on EBay or Amazon, but now I need just the 6x2 female. I’ve stared at the Mouser and Digikey until my eyes cross and have found everything else but this connector. What do you properly call these things and does anyone know the manufacturer?

At a quick glance, these two seem like the ones Parallax has been using:

As soon as I posted that, realized I didn't need to "glance".. could just look it up
Dang !
The SMT above part was correct
The TH was close, but Parallax uses the gold plated version: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/harwin-inc/M20-7830642/3727774
Not that using the exact same parts is necessary. If you prefer blue or green, seems Digikey has you covered !!
Thanks for the quick response @VonSzarvas. Those are the connectors used on the PCB, and I''ve found a few sources for them (Amp, Harwin, Samtec).
What I'm trying to find is the female backshell that would go to a cable. They are called “DuPont” connectors, but DuPont doesnt appear to actually make them anymore. Here is the desired critter in action:
Maybe one of these : https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rectangular-connectors-free-hanging-panel-mount/316?s=N4IgjCBcoBw1oDGUBmBDANgZwKYBoQB7KAbRBgAYBmGKkAXQIAcAXKEAZRYCcBLAOwDmIAL4EYATgQhkkdNnxFSICQHYATADYGzNpE48BwsSACsYddNnzcBYpDJUALJtOudIVuy58hogupgGlaomLZKDiCWjJ56IACS-Cw4gjjc-iAAtJbQMlA8AK6K9mSmDCIVQA
Oh wait... Digikey call them "Housings" and "Contacts"

That's a two row version of a type of connector I use a lot.
I can see that being very useful for wiring things up to an eval board.
Kind of strange it's black though... Single row ones I have are all white or tan...
YES! That's the bleepin'-bleepin'-bleeper right there!!! @VonSzarvas, you are a gentleman and a scholar!
I had given up for the day. We're rural, and the internet connection went down, so I said "nuts to it" and went on to playing with the P2, smart pins and MOSFETs. But THIS gives me hope for Monday! Thank you again!
@Rayman I have an assortment of the white ones too, but the white ones I have are all 2.50mm instead of 2.54mm (ie, 0.100 inch). That little difference adds up on the larger connectors. Maybe not a big deal for small ones though.

@Simonius I’ll file that in my notebook as a secondary source. Those are indeed the right one, but they are about 3x the cost of Mouser or Digikey. Thanks for the ref!
@JRoark If i interpret the page correctly, the prices are for a 5-Pack
Holy smokes! Indeed they are!
@Simonius: I’m re-adapting to Trifocals. As you can tell, it isnt going well… 🤣
