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.
