I want to stuff the extra connectors so that I can plug the nucleo onto a backboard, but I want to make sure that they are the same length.. I have been unable to find what appear to be compatible connectors in stock anywhere?.
This has to be a frequent need but I have just been unlucky at finding the information.

There should be a BOM under the CAD Resources tab.
The receiving pins would just be double wide 0.1" strips in a handful of lengths. Sort of stuff you can get at samtec in thru-hole or SMD forms.

Thanks Tesla,
I've looked through some of the BOM's but the post numbers that I found didn't seem to match the dimensions of the installed headers.
What I am looking for is not mating pins, but the same extended post headers used on the default stuffed connectors. (Nucleo-144) comes with 4 connectors stuffed, but 2 additional outer rows that can be stuffed to expose many more signals. I would like to find matching connectors so the pins out the bottom all contact at the same point and the headers on the top all share the same plane and have matching contact points. We are using these in some test fixtures for inhouse designed STM32 parts and want to make things as simple as possible.

I looked on my Nucleo L5 BOM ( https://www.st.com/resource/en/bill_of_materials/mb1361_bom.zip )
and found some Samtec SSW-1xx-23-x-D.
The datasheet is here: https://suddendocs.samtec.com/catalog_english/ssw_th.pdf
and the "23" in the part reference indicates some low insertion force 10mm pins

Might be custom order, where the x is flexible. Perhaps talk to you local ST FAE, or SAMTEC

x is the plating of the pins
