I need a dual row 24 pin (2 x 12) locking connector similar to the Molex 70553 series with 2.54mm pitch. The 70553 is a single row connector. I can't seem to find anything on Mouser or Digikey. It needs to be right angle PCB mountable in through hole style. It also has to be available from a reliable U.S. distributor.
No offense, but if you couldn't find
anything on Digikey, then you really need to improve your search skills.

Nano-fit only goes up to 16 circuits. I checked the Mini-fit-jnr and the TE links but found nothing. I don't know why Molex calls it Minipfit-jnr. Those connectors are huge.
Because they're smaller than what came before them, and they've been around for a long time. In case you haven't noticed, electronics has been undergoing ongoing miniaturization throughout its century+ of existence, but things get named when they're invented, not based on things that have yet to come.
