Check out Samtec.....quite sure they will have what you need. Delivery is good. Samples (least from our rep) is usually a few days. Madhu Annapragada wrote:Are the MQ172 series from Hirose too big? MQ172X-4PA (Digikey # H2794-ND) mating with a solder type shielded connector. Looks like a mini firewire connector.

Application is a very small thin PCB with only 2 parts on it -- a DS18B20Z (8-pin SOIC), and a 3-pin connector. What I need is a very-low-profile SMT connector, but haven't come up with anything appropriate thru the Digikey and Mouser catalogs. [ If possible, the mating connector (which will be free-hanging with wires on it) will NOT be crimp-type connectors since they are a pain to deal with when so small -- but I'll live with it if I have to. ] Any ideas/recommendations?
