TECH: Vector labs SW kit - Need gold .100 pins. What are they called?

So,

On the vector labs there are these .100 pins on the satellite boards. I need to order these
pins as they bend quite easily and I broke a few. Where do you order these pins and what
are they called? Anyone know?

I am not sure the exact name- they are like .100 machined socket header strips but have male ends on both sides. I found a vender on Ebay a while back and ordered a bunch of strips from them (as well as regular machined socket strips). Good to have around for just the reason you stated. I hope that helps.
 
If you search for 2.54mm header it will yield better results since most sellers of these are in china. 2.54mm and .100" = same. Here are just a few options on ebay.

Order some extras to have on hand. If they bend you usually cant straighten them without breaking.
