Where to buy an apple lightning socket (PCB mount)?

[Ethan]

I can't seem to find any PCB mount lightning bolt sockets at mouser or digi-key.  Anyone know where I might be able to get one--preferably right-angle mount?

found this but I doubt you would make the MOQ of 3000.  perhaps can search for the part number elsewhere?

Thanks Pucho!!
Apple's lightning connector is smaller than USB-C but the small difference doesn't really matter for my needs since I just want to use it as a flat power connector.

Ethan,

if you're retrofitting an old product, I completely get it, but if what you're looking for is a USB power source, what's wrong with mini or micro? You'll get 100 connectors for the price of a lightening

Sorry I missed the lightning part and thought you were looking for a computer connector in the current stuff not the iPad/Iphone stuff. oh well, glad that  helps.

If it's just for power, is there any reason not to just use vanilla USB-C?
