Not sure what you mean - some of the ones listed looked like they would pop right in, maybe you can be a little more detailed on what it is you want?
If all you need is the connector itself and you're going to do your own wiring into it there are many electronic part stores (seems like a pain in the arse to me though). I was in the Navy for 9 years as an electronics technician, so feel free to be wonky. I have tons of electronic parts around here, and you sound like it may be the same for you - it might be you can find that plug on another piece of junk equipment you have lying around and snag its cable (that would be my first instinct).
OK, take one of the ones on Amazon, this one - http://www.amazon.com/PL2303HX-RS23...TF8&qid=1422161026&sr=8-2&keywords=uart+cable
You see it has 4 connectors to go on 4 pins, all cool right, except they are too big to fit in the connector on the camera's circuit board. Sure, I can get a needle nose pliers, break the connector apart in pieces, but don't want to do that, just want to plug it in. The reason is I get damaged cameras, and some won't boot up and would be nice to see what's going on.

Understand. Can you give me a more zoomed in picture of the connector? It looks like a standard connector to me that can be found in many electronic devices (old motherboards, cards, stereos... or the parts store if needed, but I'd bet I have one of those with a cable attached that could be used. I'm assuming that if you had the connector with the wires already you could splice it to your needs? An electronics parts store would certainly have it - and it would be cheap.

Looks like one of the jst 4 pin range
Possibly 'ZH' http://www.jst-mfg.com/product/pdf/eng/eZH.pdf
Use the ZR insulation displacement connector.

Ya, it looks like a common connector to me, I've already found a 2 pin and 6 pin version of it in my collection - still looking for a 4 pin version (I did find the exact same connector on an old video card, alas not the cable that connects to it).

How about this on Ebay or this one on Aliexpress. I don't think it's a JST connector. Not looking at the purchase side - just if it is correct (Aliexpress has some exact measurments that can be used to check).

Looks like they make this connector anywhere from 1.0mm to 1.5mm, check out this link on Ebay, not just the one advertised but look below at the 30 items similar to it, notice it comes in 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5 mm sizes.

I'd be tempted to make one...

Now that is some crazy cool stuff, can it be colored? Looks like it would be excellent to use it to replace a broken plastic part on an item if needed.
I think a bit over the top for this connector, although with it you could make a non standard connector with ease (and that couild come in real handy).
Awesome - Thanks, that gets the mind pumping for sure.
Thanks for the help. It looks like they posted this on Radio Control Accessories area of eBay, so maybe a local hobby shop would have it. I'll check tomorrow.

That's an excellent place to look - don't forget to take the board with you as many look similar. That type of connector really is very common, shouldn't be hard to find (fingers crossed).

Thanks, that did the trick. Took a while to get from China but nobody on this side of the Pacific had anything like that. Also tried a few hobby stores, but none I went to sell just connectors. Now I have to get some free time and experiment with it.
