40 Pin Propeller Header

I'd like to find a 2 row, 40 pin (20 pins per row) header to attach my Propeller Quickstart board to a vector board. Will the following receptacle work to accomplish this goal? http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/103308-8/A26279-ND/289259

I'm not totally confident that I measured the hole spacing correctly on the Quickstart board or my vector board. I think the spacing is 0.1", is this pretty standard?

Thanks!

    That connector should work just fine.

    That connector is intended for a ribbon cable, but it can adapt to other uses. It is a male connector. Did you want the female one instead?

    And are you thinking of buying other boards that will stack with proper connectors? I am just asking before you actually solder something into place.

    .1 " (2.54mm) spacing is correct.. but I can seem to locate anything at Digikey.. a bit odd. Take a look at what Parallax offers for stacking.
