This is a 2x23 pin female PTH header, with extra long legs which makes great for stacking. This piece is in the common configuration for Beaglebone Black headers. Each pin has a spacing of 0.1" in between each other.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Noob - Some basic soldering is required, but it is limited to a just a few pins, basic through-hole soldering, and couple (if any) polarized components. A basic soldering iron is all you should need.

I have used these headers in several projects with great success!
The headers from this site are ordered by single header, not by pairs of headers.
Additionally, the headers all arrived in a single bag. Over half of the headers had pins that were bent to a condition that made use difficult. A considerable amount of time was needed to realign the pins to a functional state.
So sorry about this issue. We've passed this information along to our Shipping team. And I've contacted you directly to see how we can help. Thanks
Just a note for others: If you are planning on using these for a custom cape, and you need clearance above the ethernet jack, these are too short for a reliable connection. Samtec makes a version of this with a 14mm pin length that works well.
What is the pin length?
10.5mm as indicated on the data sheet.
Are the pins flat or are they rectangular like the typical 0.1" breakaway header pins?
Received my order. The pins are flat, not like the breakaway headers. The pin length and shape are ideal for standard Beaglebone cape design.
