It looks like through-hole, but what is the pin pattern: in-line or
staggered?

Molex p/n 0521471210 may be close enough to substitute:

Have you checked Hirose ? I looked but didn�t find anything similar.

No, there really are connectors that are designed to handle stripped
ribbon cable or other wire terminations vice a "flat on flex" terminal.
This http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/872801200_sd.pdf datasheet from
Molex shows how they expect the ribbon cable to be prepared. Quite
different from a FFC/FPC receptacle.

Molex does have one that does not require holes for side support posts
and that does have a compression latch, which could be a functional
substitute for the OP's requirement.

Roger that. Sometimes Usenet does work out to be more than a herd of
performing elephants with diarrhea... ;-)
