What are the correct size specifications or dimensions for the 7-pin breadboard headers for a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 with the XIAO heatsink installed? The existing headers provided by the XIAO ESP32S3 kit are too short to use in a breadboard with the heatsink installed…

Heatsink: Aluminum Heat Sink For XIAO (2pcs)- Specialized for XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, Seeed Studio SKU 114010001, 10mm x 10mm x 6mm(?) dimensions

Stock Supplied Headers: 7-pin male header for Seeed Studio XIAO Series Board (5 pcs), Seeed Studio SKU 102010490, 15.84mm x 11.57mm x x 6mm x 2.43mm dimensions

If there are headers available for purchase that I missed, my apologies… if so, what is the SKU?

i would say add 6-8 mm… also you could try female headers on the XIAO then add the male into the female

As it turns out, I ordered (from Amazon) several 10mm x 10mm x 10mm heatsinks (which looks like the same size that Seeed Studio sells on their webstore), also purchased some 1x40-Pin Breakaway Strip Headers Male 2.54mm Single Row Straight Pin Connector, 21mm height. The 21mm high headers worked perfectly with the 10mm heatsink height and plugged into the breadboard nicely. The extra height also allows for about a 1mm-2mm gap between the top of the breadboard and the top of the heatsink.
