Any idea what the small plastic connectors in this picture (in the link below) are called? I've done various web searches but not found them. The male parts are approx 3mm long & snap into the female parts.

More generally any advice on alternative connectors? Basically I need to connect 2 small plastic strips then from time to time disconnect, then reconnect them
in a slightly different position relative to each other. Low cost , robust solution will be needed for the finished product.

Those are pin connectors - or sometimes called pin & socket connectors.

They are not a "connector" as in something added to the part. In the picture they are designed into the injection mold and formed with the plastic as a way of lining up and securing the 2 halves when the handle closes.
