Subject says it all really.
Explanation of 'straddle mount' in case that's unclear: The socket is supposed to be mounted on a card edge. Think PCI extender, which is kind of my usecase.
I need such a connector for a small project and have spent way too much time searching for the part already.
The usual suspects Digikey, Mouser, Farnell, etc. still list some of part numbers from back in the day, but everything is zero stock.
Searches for obvious terms on eBay and whatnot came out dry as well.
I need very low quantity, frankly even a single one would already be helpful.
Options I've considered so far:
- Purchase a PCI extender of some sort off of eBay and desolder the socket. Possible but likely messy. So many pins...
- Beat a through-hole socket into submission. Possible but messy as well.
I am quite sure there must be NOS on a shelf somewhere, I just can't find any to buy.
Any pointers to NOS would be appreciated.
