Alternate MPN for on-board SD-card connector on nRF9160DK

[WoutWG]

Hi,

I was looking into hooking up an SD card to the nRF9160DK that I use for data collection during evaluation and early stage pilot projects. I noticed that there is an unmounted SD card connector on V1.0.1 which is the version I have, and I was planning to use it in the same way as described here, but I'm having a hard time finding the part that is listed in the BOM. It seems that the manufacturer doesn't make these anymore. I was wondering if an alternative part has been identified that can be mounted on the same footprint instead of the original MPN?

While it is not available for new designs, there is still lots in stock for example on DigiKey if you just need them for the nRF9160 DK:
