shorter headers

I (well, my projects) have been working in some fairly tight places and the height of the standard 0.1" male + female has become a serious concern. Is there some kind of short version to help gain some space, or other alternative to make connections for a row of 3-15 pins like this?

tthanks!

I have used these:

2mm headers are smaller and pretty standard / sourcable.

I always start looking for connectors at the Samtec site

The number of options is a little overwhelming but that have good stuff and are pretty free with samples.

For female connectors, you can use cut-off single sides from IC sockets.
Sorta like you see here:

Right angle headers will be very low: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170876801011

"...in some fairly tight places" isn't a lot of info to work with. You aren't even saying what sort of Arduino you're using (or if you're using an Arduino at all...)
