ok, so sparkfun sells a horizontal connector for the EB-85A GPS unit.

i dont want to use the ribbon cable and connector, to much baggage.

i would rather use the same type of connector like this

[http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … ts\_id=8297](http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8297)

but in a female right angle version. so i can solder this connector right onto my board and then just plug the GPS unit right into that.

does anyone have an info on a plug of this type ?
