[time-nuts] Connector options for HP10811A?

[Robert DiRosario]

Have you used the Mouser part you listed?  When you look at the spec 
sheet it only shows 8 of the 15 pins installed in the connector.

I have used this, and it show all the pins installed:

Graham / KE9H listed:

https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/123/306-015-500-102_-_EDAC_Card_Edge_Connector-1653038.pdf

which also shows all of the pin installed.

Why would they not install all of the pins?  If they do install all of 
them why do they show some missing, when they show them installed on the 
other two products?  I would like to use the through hole pins socket.

(And at this point, it's anyone's guess when that will be.)

Any other thoughts or suggestions on how to work this? By any chance are there other known sources for the right size of connector that might be operating right now?
