I am designing a carrier board for a SOM and I was planning to put one or more 10(9) pin headers on the board to connect to external USB connectors. Most of these on existing motherboards have pin 9 removed for keying reasons. I have looked at all suppliers but I cannot find a part that has that pin 9 removed!

enter image description here

Can anyone give me a pointer where I can find this part? To be clear: I need the header for this that will go on the PCB...

UPDATE: I contacted Samtec and they gave me a part number: HTSW-105-07-G-D-009 https://www.samtec.com/products/htsw-105-07-g-d-009

Special order from Samtec, Molex, or other manufacturer, prices are reasonable even in small-ish quantitues like 1000 pieces.

For really small quantities get out your pliers and modify them by hand, the pins just pull out.

  • \$\begingroup\$ This is a board that will go into production, clipping the pin is not a preferred solution. See the update to the OP about a part number that has only 9 pins. \$\endgroup\$

Use 10 pin header 2x5 and pull out or cut off unused pin.
