long legged female header pin

Hi,

I'm trying to build my own shields, and I saw these fantastic header pins to stack the board (Arduino Stackable Header - 8 Pin - PRT-09279 - SparkFun Electronics)

Unfortunately I use digikey as the give international free shipping (under certain conditions). The problem is that I cannot find the same (or similar) item there.

Any clue? I'm getting mad searching...and digikey DB has that annoying characteristic of retrieving either 1000000 items or 0 :frowning:

Look at Samtec ESQ series. They have a length -14 that might work.

Sorry, no personal experience with those.

We at NKC Electronics offer international shipping starting at $5, and here is the link to the header pack: http://www.nkcelectronics.com/arduino-stackable-header-kit.html

Just trying to help...

There was a prior post about this... search the forums... but Sergio, even when you do finally find wire wrap headers in digikey et al. you'll see that somehow the small Arduino shops (nkc and ladyada) are underselling the big component vendors! I've been too embarrassed to ask them how they do it... its part of their value add I would imagine. But its especially unfortunate for me (and anyone else using SMT AVRs) since my board needs 3 8 pin and 1 6 pin instead of the packs of 2 each that is commonly sold. :frowning:
