Stack connectors

max72

I have seen on the forums many examples of connectors (the usual single line 100mils type) made for PCB stacking.
I searched Mouser and Digikey, but I didn't find a similar prduct. Could you address me to a suitable connector, or the right keyword?

Thanks in advance,

I use these:

Similar ones are available from other suppliers.

It is nice to know that information, Leon. Different websites are charging $1.50 for four of them while they are providing them for pennies. Thank you.

I was thinking of something similar to the ones shown here (for multi board):

They seem similar to the ones I use.

It looks they have very long "legs", and pile up on each other. I would say the female connector on the other side of the PCB become a male header, to be inserted in the female parte of the bottom board.

edit:

There are the PC104 type connectors that explain this:

You mean stackable headers like this?

max72

You are right, Jazzed, they are the headers I'm talking about!!
Where can I find them? Mouser maybe?
Searching for stackable header or something similar didn't bring any meaningful result..

I'll sell 10 for $3.00 (plus shipping cost) via PayPal. I have many on hand. Send me a Private Message.

Here is the manufacturers description:
2.54mm FEMALE HEADER DIP STRAIGHT HEIGHT=8.5MM 1X08 DIP=10.5mm

It is the same 0.1" 8 pin header used on Arduino boards. The male pins are 0.394" (10.5mm) long.

There is some discussion of stacking headers (including where to buy them) in this thread: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?129449-PPLA-Module-Propeller-Platform-Logic-Analyzer-now-available .

Ooops, guess i better raise my price to remain consistent ;-)

Do you have also the 21 pin version discussed?
I would like to use them with gadget gangster's boards, so 21 would be perfect. Otherwise is it easy to split them in half?

The 21 pin headers are 2mm spaced ... an unfortunate oversight on my part.

Six 8x1 headers can be used with the gadget gangster boards.
Two of the 8x1 header will have to be cut down to 4x1.

I'll look around for easier solutions, but the 8x1 is the best available for now.
PM me if you want any 8x1 headers.
