But I can't get a data sheet. Or figure out what the PCB mate is.
"Contact Molex" just bounces between two web pages, runaround. If we
have a regional rep, I can't find them.
Lots of data sheets these days are instant-generated PDFs, which would
be great if they worked.
Digikey has become sloppy with datasheet links. Often like here they
plain don't work or end in an error message. I used to alert them but it
has become so rampant that I've moved on to other distributors.
They used to be hands down the best when looking for parts. Not anymore :-(

I think it boils down to poor upper management. What does it really
take? Just a simple script or a bot that constantly churns through all
their datasheet links and alerts staff when a link isn't working. But I
guess they can't even figure that out.
