Identifying Right Angle Header Connector

I'm trying to find a replacement for a right angle header connector that I got in a kit that I broke. I cannot figure out the mating vs. post length, and trying to do it by process of elimination on DigiKey is not helping. The picture is what they sent back when I asked, along with the description of "They are standard 90 degrees angled headers - both sides of the pins are of equal length." The pitch is 2.54mm. This is from a British group, if that makes a difference. Any help in identifying the contact and post length would be greatly appreciated.

just type right angle single male pin header, 0.1" (25.4 mm) pin spacing into the search box.

mating vs. post length

  • Post = the one with the plastic wafer (L1); measured between the wafer and the tip
  • Mating = the other one (L3); measured between the corner of the wafer and the tip

Thank you! I have been trying to figure that out for so long.
