I've seen those before, and they look nice. But I forgot to mention that I really would like a horizontal version (with 90 degree PCB contacts), so that the connector can be soldered in the board and goes out sideways. Most sealed connectors I find have straight contacts (and would go out on top of the board). I would have to make a daughterboard for the connector; that's something I'd like to avoid if possible.
