But, these may stack close enough to make a 2x8 socket (I have some SIL's which do sit side by side in veroboard, but I also have some which don't), and have 'wires' long enough to plug into female headers. They don't have as much grip as normal female headers, but they do work. <a href="http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=2677444" rel="nofollow">http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=2677444</a> gbulmer on "Source for 2x8 stackable female header (10.5mm leads) ?" http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=740#post-4401 Sat, 23 Apr 2011 08:59:43 +0000 gbulmer 4401@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ Adam, sorry I couldn't find what you need. I have done the same search in the past, and failed to find anything. At least is demonstrated that it is not easy to find :-) I'd suggest trying those longer wire single-row headers. I have only tried stacking two single row headers once, but I had poor experience with the 0.1" female sockets I had to hand. They were too tight, and bent outwards, but as you can adjust the exact position of holes on your board you could fix that. In my case, the board was ready made with quite tight holes, and there wasn't much I could do. I think some of the problem might simply have been to do with the thickness of the plastic walls of the socket, and there may well be some which stack nicely. For example several companies including digikey (<a href="http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Cat=1442673" rel="nofollow">http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Cat=1442673</a>) sell wire-wrap sockets which might give an alternative to try out. Another technique, which is a bit odd looking is very long pin single-in-line sockets (SIL's). They are designed to carry IC's, so the 'socket' part is very shallow, but it is better than nothing :-) The ones I've used do stack. A friend found some a couple of years ago, I'll ask him if he can find them again. Best of luck, and please tell us if you find something.

The others look like they have short leads too. Drats. I think the 2 1x8s will work, so I am going to try that out. gbulmer on "Source for 2x8 stackable female header (10.5mm leads) ?" http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=740#post-4374 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 04:39:59 +0000 gbulmer 4374@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ Edit: ordinary 2x8 0.1" are easy ...
