No kidding! I tried everything but "disk" at Digikey! Thanks for the info,
at least I can get a datasheet and see all the exact mechanical spec's,
etc...

I really appreciate the help.

Searched for "disk" at Digikey, followed the link under
"Connectors...Rectangular".
WM6986-ND.  Also 15-24-4041-ND, but that one only has 16 in stock and min
order is several hundred units.  It's also non-stock, but you could use it
as a starting point.  The first one is single unit in-stock, but not right
angle board mount.

A search at Mouser reveals 538-531-09-0410.  Right angle, single unit, in
stock.

Are they actively attempting to conceal these things?
