I see this particular 10-pin dual row FEMALE plug in various UEXT modules.
However, it is really hard to find item as most of the time there's an opposite gender header being widely carried around.

Does anybody know where can I buy this item?

@Olimex - can I purchase say 10 of these IDC10F/PCB directly from you?

You can probably get some for free, because the same size plugs (2x5 pins) were widely used in PCs for connecting COM ports to motherboards and I/O cards. Some motherboards still use them on cables for COM2. So try your local PC junkyard/recycle yard/whatever.

I am aware of the flat cable version but I need a PCB female "header" type with straight pins to be soldered.

I might be picky but those do not have a "key" (polarity guide) as the ones that olimex uses...
