Identify Librem 5 SIM/SD Card Connector

Hardware Librem 5
1

The SIM/SD card connector on my Librem 5 phone is broken. I asked a local repair shop to take a look at it and the guys there said they can’t source a replacement but would be happy to do the repair if I can. I emailed the support team at Purism and never heard back.

Can you identify this SIM/SD card connector? I have been scanning Digi-Key for an hour but cannot determine which model matches best.

I will accept a direct message and delete this post if Purism is worried about losing their vital trade secrets. I am an end user and I bought this phone with high hopes of … actually using it some day. Now it is hiding in a desk drawer bumming me out.

It may fixed by a mechanical-surgery on SIM/SD Socket.

The trouble now is finding a supplier of this exact part or an equivalent! The struggle continues!

Thanks again for your help.
