FCI bought out Dupont's connector division a long
time ago, so what you
are looking for is FCI's Mini-PV series.
...
I'd advise against buying these type of contacts on eBay. 99% of the
"Berg" or "Dupont" contacts on eBay are knock-offs and don't
have
decent plating (gold flash, if they have any gold on them at all) and
aren't made to have the correct gripping force. .. they might not even
fit a real HT-95.
Hi, thanks for all that great info. The 'gold flash' issue was new to me;
for those who are likewise unfamiliar with it, I found this nice write-up:

Alas, I've already ordered some of the 'eBay knockoff' pins; when they get
here, I will look them over, and if poor quality, take appropriate action...

Digikey 3M9123-ND (3M 3435-0 "conn socket keying
plug") is the version
that fits into an IDC connector.
By pure chance, I later discovered, as I was reading the writeup on the
DLV11-J, that they gave AMP part numbers for the shell (10-pin, I assume),
contacts, and plug (they call it a "key pin"), and they seem to still work.
Here they are, if anyone has any use for them:
87133-5 Connector shell
87124-1 Contact
87179-1 Keying pin
How odd to find them in the DEC Interfaces Handbook!
