Help locating a part

I'm trying to locate a part and I can't find it on Digikey because I don't know exactly what I should be searching for.

Does anyone know the part number for the 4 pin header that is used to connect the SXKey to the breadboard?
It is male on both sides and extends straight from the board. It's a very small part that comes with the SX tech boards an the FTDI USB2SER.
Can anyone tell me the name of this part or the equivalent part for Digikey (my preferred source for parts).

I'd get it from the Parallax component shop expect it isn't sold there either! Nor is it listed in the parts list for the SX Tool kits.

Please, lend me your assistance in finding this part.

And thank you ahead of time for any help.

    Do you want the right angle type as is on the SX-Tech and PDB boards or a straight pin variety?

    For this particular application I would prefer the straight pin. Like the one that comes with it but is detached from the board.
    The board comes with a right angle one already in it but there is also a separate white straight one that was floating around in a plastic bag.

    However, it would be helpful for future designs to know both. So if it is not any extra trouble then I would like help finding both varieties.

    Hmm I didnt receive a straight pin with mine. Digikey's stock of pin headers is quite pitiful at the moment, with most of thier parts out of stock. I'll look around some, but what you are looking for is a 4 pin header with 0.1" spacing. You could use a breakaway header and clip off 4.

    Like this one for right angle: http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/SHR-40/192/HEADER,_1_X_40_RIGHT_ANGLE_.html

    and straight: http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/SHS-40/192/SINGLE_ROW_HEADER,_1_X_40_.html

    or http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/SHS-30/192/30_PIN,_SINGLE-ROW_SNAPPABLE_HEADER_.html

    Thank you for finding those. I appreciate it.
    It would be easier for me if I ordered all my parts from one place to save on shipping and handling. However, it is still very good to know alternative places to buy parts like that!
