In my experience, these connectors are referred to as "IDC transition 
headers/connectors".

Be careful, because the pins can be arranged into different numbers of 
rows. More rows mean a larger connector but make laying out the PCB 
easier. Yours has four rows, but lots of 26W headers will have only two 
rows. The examples that Roman pointed to look right.
