I'm needing to replace this connector but I haven't been able to find anything similar.
I've tried google lens as well as manually trawling through a number of sites (mouser, Digi-Key, etc.).

10 pin, 2 rows, blade type, surface mount.
It's from a piece of equipment made by GE Healthcare, so possibly proprietary but unlikely.

Any ideas?

You don't give dimensions so I can't give you a P/N but go back to Mouser and look at SAMTEC board to board/mezzanine connectors.  They make every conceivable config in my experience- they're also good with samples.

I didn't see any mezzanine type connectors in Samtec that would work. Assuming that's a 1.27mm pitch part.

These do not appear to be blade type. Sure they are blades?

Unfortunately I couldn't see this connector type from samtec either.
I can track down specific part numbers based on the size later, but I just need to start with the family it belongs to.
Connectors aren't something I need to buy often, so let me know if there is other specific information I could provide that would help.

I think 1.27mm is correct.
Pretty sure it's blade type. I've attached a photo of the male end.

Ok, the photo of that flex cable connector looks amazingly similar to ones we have used here at work. Tomorrow I will try to find the information for you!

Found it!
Part # P10-010SLT-A-G made by 3M. (Actually a 1mm pitch).

Went obsolete in 2009, which is bizarre considering this piece of medical equipment was purchased less than 3yrs ago!

My customer might just have to fork out for a new PCBA..  :-[

Thanks for the help legends!

This co. claims to have over 8000 in stock, but no pricing, only RFQs.

If 3M obsoleted the part, it might be made by an Asian outfit.  I've seen many similar connectors made by different companies, which may or may not be compatible. 

How did you determine it was 3M?  By pictures?  That may not be good enough.  There are lots of very similar looking parts that are not actually compatible.  Even "standard" 0.1" connectors are not actually standard enough to be assured to work with the competitors mating connector.
