If no one knows of a page out there showing pictures of the various types
I
will take pics of these new ones to me. You have to flip up a section that
is pivotted, not at all obvious on first encountering. 0.3mm spacing of
conductors . Otherwise distinctive features are staggered lands at the
closure and a part view of a line of 0.6mm space pins along the top of the
socket making it looks as though they are a conventional slide in
direction
of ribbon cable closure, but not fully closed or opened out a bit, but the
apparent closure does not slide in any direction.



Sounds like the ones often encountered on laser cable terminations,
particularly on Panasonic DVDs and many portable DVD players ? Usually dark
brown body and beige flip up section. Some that I've encountered, even
combine both slide back and flip up. As you say, sometimes not obvious how
to release them without damage.
