Hi, i'm searching for an easy to source board to board connector with a height of more than 11mm (which is the height of typical male & female pinheaders).
So ideally it would be something like 15mm. Preferrably with a smaller pitch than 2.54mm.
I've found it surprisingly difficult to even find long pinheaders on lcsc / jlcpcbs parts list.
I might go for a flat flex cable between the two boards, but a connector would be nice as it also acts as a mechanical support
maybe someone on here has an idea, I'd appreciate any help!

for this I often use Samtec (as suggested by @QDrives ), but I am not sure if they are in lcsc

Samtec supplies direct (at least in EU). But Digikey also has some.

Thanks for the suggestions, looks like they have every imaginable size, so i‘m sure i‘ll find something from them!
