Hi,

I am trying to build a custom peripheral connected to the 60-pin expansion bus (dual row, 30-pin each, 1.27mm pitch) of the Atari Portfolio. See attached image.

Does anyone how to call this type of connector and where can I get one (both male and female)? I tried searching Digikey, Mouser, Farnell as well as Element14 but can't find any. The closest category is either card-edge connectors or board-to-board connectors, but it's hard to search without an exact name for it.

3D models for this type of connector can be found online, for example here https://www.3dcontentcentral.com/Download-Mod … =171&id=1317579

Thanks in advance

I guess this would be the mating connector https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-sockets/6030013 , pricey.
or this ? https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-sockets/6377479

edit: wrong pitch ?

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

Likely not. The KEL documents for the 8800 series specify 1.27mm (as required), it seems RS components got their database wrong.
