Well. I'm sure the tracks are the right way round but I only have pads not a physical connector. This part:
http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?id=CN15466&Ntt=CN15466
doesn't fit. (earth holes don't have the right offset). And what does that (REVERSE) mean?
I'm waiting for this: http://cpc.farnell.com/molex/47080-4005/plug-sata-system-r-a-smt/dp/CN15476?Ntt=Cn15476
to see if it's any better.

knowing the right part for the PCB that would be helpful.

Similarly with the 44pin 2mm SMD header.
I'm guessing that 
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-headers/6701125/
or
http://uk.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=98424-G52-44LFvirtualkey64910000virtualkey649-98424-G52-44LF
will do the trick.

Although ~3 quid in both cases seems a little steep. (and 6 or 12 delivery respectively)

Wookey
