Just cannot find this connector

Hey all

I have a TFT touchscreen and for some bizarre reason, it appears to use an FFC cable with the most impossible connector to source.

0.8mm pitch, 18way. I need to find an SMD connector.

I have tried Mouser, Farnell, RS, Digikey.... no luck.

The only one I found is obsolete and not stocked.

Found one on AliExpress, but of course no footprint or details, so I can't make a PCB footprint.

Any ideas where the heck to find one? (I am in the UK)

Well, all this stuff about China rules the world etc...

Aliexpress 18 pin

I can just make out the footprint from the annoying images.

I'll have to go with these

Maybe one of these 40 or so?

Why not contact the manufacturer and ask what connector you need.
