TL;DR: Berg made connectors like these. Berg was bought by DuPont who put their branding on things. Around this time in the early 90's, clones started showing up and enthusiasts assigned the "DuPont" to apparently differentiate between these new clones and the previous, officially made, "Berg" connectors.
- fireattack 6y agoAppreciated. It is probably just me, but I find the article itself (which I read in full) relatively hard to follow. So is the other related article [1]. I think it's because the author was trying to fit all the nuances in, which is a problem I suffer from myself when I write.

- geocrasher 6y agoNo worries. I too found the article a little bit on the hard to read side. I can't say why specifically, but there seemed to be a lot of details that didn't really add to the story. Perhaps that's the "nuance" you were referring to.
