Double height male PCB headers

[lesthegrngo]

Hi all 

I use male 0.1" PCB headers on a lot of my projects, but sometimes (like on a Mega) it's to make a shield where I convert the female connection into a male connection. Up until now I just used two lots of male PCB headers, one each side of the PCB, then traces on each side and a through PCB pin soldered on both sides. It works fine, but it makes production of one of the boards a lot more laborious that in should be

What I want is a male PCB header that is twice the length so that I can solder it on one side, and it protrudes both above and below the PCB, and that way I can just plug it in to the Mega, and then have the connecting pins on the upper face.

I searched on the likes of e-bay (remembering it is a pain to get things here) but couldn't find anything like it. Do they exist or is it wishful thinking?

Amazing, I obviously used the wrong search criteria, once I used the Adafruit description, I found a load on all sorts of sites

Says it all about my computing skills that I can't even use a search engine properly!

Part of the art of Google-Fu is knowing how to find out what to look for...

Just in case you need them, there's also these for stacking
