3-pin Male Header Only
PRT-08232 only has the 3-pin Male Header. The picture is confusing. Try looking at this picture => https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0jwgLkjMWzDeXpnNkZsZ21rQXc .
You will still need to order the crimp pins [ https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8100 ] and 3-pin female housing polarized connector [ https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8096 ] . Make sure that you are using crimp tool [ https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13193 ] for the female housing.
Core Skill: Soldering
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: Rookie - The number of pins increases, and you will have to determine polarity of components and some of the components might be a bit trickier or close together. You might need solder wick or flux.

Why don't you sell the kit? All the necessary to work with this kind of connectors?

Size?
Is this part listed in the SFE Eagle Library?
Yes, the connector part is MOLEX-1x3 or MOLEX1x3_LOCK in Eagle.
These wouldn't happen to be the same connectors used on computer fans would they? (I mean the 3 pin variety)
Thanks for your help.
Use small hook up wire..
it is cheaper..
and no, the ends are not long enough

will this allow me to plug a 3-pin servo female cable into a breaboard?
I just tried this, and it works (kind of). The servo connector is not exact, and you have to pull pretty hard to get it back off. I will be buying the housing and pins to swap out the connector on the motor.
