Part number for Fan Connector ZIF Connector

Hi,

I am looking for the part number for this ZIF connector pictured, which connects the fan to the case. I'm sorry I don't have a picture of it with the tape removed, I forgot to take this picture.

I removed this part to clean the fan and the little plastic "clip" that holds down the ZIF connector broke off. I'd like to try and find a new one to see if I could re-attach the "clip" (or worst-case scenario the whole connector with some micro-soldering) but I cannot figure out this part.

Don't know the part number, but I think this has what you're looking for—the "No 2" option is the 5pin fan ZIF connector for the A1708. You could also look for a damaged or used top case online and get one of those to pull the connector clip from. Good luck!
