Default motherboard LED connectors and posts?

Thanks for your reply.

I tried searching for LED connectors and get LEDs. I want the
connectors and posts, not replacement LEDs for a motherboard.


Ah, yes, the connectors are general-purpose, and have nothing to do with
LEDs specifically, although this is the context in which you happen to
have encountered them; therefore searching on the term "LED" is leading
you astray.

There are literally hundreds to choose from, but here are a couple
example part numbers I pulled out of the Mouser catalog to point you in
the right direction:

Header: Mouser 517-2312-6111tg, 3m 2312-6111tg
Socket: Mouser 517-974-01-02, 3m 929974-01-02 (board mount)

the sockets also come for crimp pin or IDC connections. I think once
you stop searching for "LED" you'll be able to find things easily.
