Long pin female headers

[jra]

Went to solder some Moteino shields and discovered that I had exhausted my supply of long pin female headers and couldn't remember where I had gotten them from.  Took over an hour of googling to find a source longer than the 6, 8 and 10 pin versions everyone seems to carry for arduino shields.  To save someone else the trouble, dipmicro electronics has these in 6, 8, 10, 18, 20 and 40 pin versions https://www.dipmicro.com/store/index.php?searchStr=long+pin+female+header&act=viewCat&Submit=Search I've purchased from them before, they're based in Niagra Falls, CA.  Shipping to Canada and the US is reasonable, don't know about the rest of the world.  For standard moteinos I cut these down to 13 pins using a jeweler's saw and trim 4 at a time with a belt sander, someone else may have a better technique.

Thanks for posting.  These are always a bugger to find!

That should last you a while!

@jra  Not that it matters, but I purchased some of those same headers from ebay in November (http://www.ebay.com/itm/311198554207?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT), and I just now noticed that they were actually shipped to me by dipmicro, the very same company you referenced at the start of this thread.  Small world.
