Help locating source of connector?

This is a female, D-shaped, 40-pin IDC, "flat-cable" connector. It's a bit of
an oddity because the pins in the male connector are not square or round
pins, but flat blades. Center-to-center spacing is the common flat-cable
spacing: 0.10 inch (2.5 mm):

Who makes or carries these? I've searched the usual haunts (DigiKey, Mouser,
etc.).

Maybe it's just the search terms I'm using. What terms would you use?

Urgency necessitates finding these by Monday or Tuesday. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks, and
Happy Holidays,
Dave

Hi, Dave.

I have seen, but not built with the connector you need. When we can't
find a connector source, we usually call on TTI, Inc. and find it or an
equivalent there. They have offices in most major cities, I believe. At
least they are in Portland Oregon.

Can you measure the blade dimensions? And/or can you say anything
about the equipment manufacturer? I would google those terms.

Because of the urgency, I would just replace the connector on the
board, and terminate the ribbon, with standard connectors.

Is there any markings molded into the plastic? Even a few letters to
indicate the OEM?

Dave,

That IS an oddball. I'd send the photos to Digi-key or Mouser and see
what their customer service departments come up with. I've found them
very helpful I'd also add a shot of the connecter it mates with. Take
some measurements too.

Lastly, what equipment did it come out of?

Best regards and happy holidays,

EDAC (http://www.edac.net) makes connectors using that sort of
contact.
