The Arduino A000086 is a pair of 10-pin female/male header strips with 2.54 mm pitch, used to extend boards and build stackable shields. Each strip has a square-receptacle 8.5 mm plastic body and 15 mm pins, for a total component height of 23.5 mm. Arduino uses them on its Proto Shield, and their height makes them useful on any shield.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Arduino header uses 10 pins?
The Uno R3 has a 10-pin digital header (including SDA, SCL, AREF and GND), which these strips suit.
What is a female/male header?
It has a female socket on top and long male pins below, so it can pass through a shield and plug into the board beneath.
