You probably do this anyway but thought I'd mention it,
just-in-case. When I need to sift through multiple manufacturers to
find a part that fits my needs, I many times start at the Mouser &
DigiKey web sites. They are not perfect and do not carry every brand
but are usually a very good starting points. Both have a selection
process to allow zeroing in on the parts they carry that meet your needs
(number of pins, pin spacing, right-angle, etc.) and both have links to
the data sheets to check the details.
Anyway, just a thought.
