IC header cables

I've seen what I need: a 16 pin DIP header that plugs into an
ordinary IC socket, but one with a ribbon cable coming off it.

But now that I need to buy one, I can't find the right terms
to define same, at least to please DigiKey or Mouser. I keep
getting wrong things.

But now that I need to buy one, I can't find the right terms
to define same, at least to please DigiKey or Mouser. I keep
getting the bare headers.

Suggestions?

I searched Google for "16 pin dip ribbon cable" without the quotes of
course. A couple of clicks and found this page.

One key word is; Insulation Displacement connector.

The headers are usually sold separately and you press on the ribbon cable
you want to use.

Pretty much the standard equipment for connectors to all hard drives
preceding SATA.

That type of connector was easy to just nip up on the ribbon cable in a
bench vise. An IDC ribbon cable header has pins that you need to protect -
just pull all the pins out of an el-cheapo IC socket and use the shell to
protect the pins.
