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.

This one had one of those and a variant in black . Because of the end cheeks
of the large white section having a hook/barb shaped plan view made it look
more like that section moved and was locked into the small black section,
not so. In fact the black part was pivotable along the wide axis. I realised
the brown one was pivotting closure early on, but not the black one,
thinking it was low force insertion as it had a back plane to the ribbon, so
tougher.
