How to connect to a very, very challanging BlackBerry Q10 keyboard connector?

(1/5) > >>

JoeN:
I want to use this in a project.  I am not 100% sure but this looks to me to be about 0.4mm and it is as tiny as it looks.   I should have gotten a straighter on picture.  Surprised this came out as well as it did, but I could have done better.  I can't find the appropriate socket anywhere to purchase.  Any ideas on what I should be trying to make a connection or where to get this socket?  Would prefer a socket, I can make my own PCBs and I am very good at mounting small SMT parts under the microscope with a bit of hot air.   Thanks in advance!

Molex SlimStack 0.4?

It looks to me you could be right.  When I look at Molex's site and Mouser though the very weird thing is they carry 26 pin versions and 30 pin versions but not 28 which is what I count on this connector.

http://www.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?Ntk=P_MarCom&Ntt=130129646  (.35mm connectors that look exactly like this one)
http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=SlimStack  (all SlimStack connectors)

Why do you think that is?

Looks like HIROSE DF40 to me. When drawing land pattern for it pay attention to extra edge pins.

I appreciate this.  They look like really similar connectors.  I thought posting here would be good because of all you industry guys who recognize these sorts of things.

The very odd thing is still no 28 conductor version.  Any idea what is up with that?  Did Blackberry f*ck me here by using their corporate might to demand a non-standard conductor so this part would not be diverted into amateur projects?   :-DD
