This is a female, D-shaped, 40-pin IDC, "flat-cable" connector. It's a bit of
an oddity because the pins in the male connector are not square or round
pins, but flat blades. Center-to-center spacing is the common flat-cable
spacing: 0.10 inch (2.5 mm):

Who makes or carries these? I've searched the usual haunts (DigiKey, Mouser,
etc.).

Maybe it's just the search terms I'm using. What terms would you use?

Urgency necessitates finding these by Monday or Tuesday. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks, and
Happy Holidays,

Hi, Dave.
I have seen, but not built with the connector you need. When we can't
find a connector source, we usually call on TTI, Inc. and find it or an
equivalent there. They have offices in most major cities, I believe. At
least they are in Portland Oregon.
