I recently purchased a replica of the Amstrad CPC 464 PCB and have started working on getting all the necessary components. However I am struggling trying to find these two connectors, do you guys have any idea?

So... since nobody responded. I asked Claude. And according to it the top connector is a Molex: 52271 and the bottom connector (power switch + tape)  is a combo of Molex 22-01-3087 (8-pin receptacle housing) and the header is Molex 22-23-2081 (8-pin straight header)

But I think the top connector looks more like a KF2510 connector with 20 pins

I can't give you a good link for the first connector (Claude got it very very wrong), but I can tell you it's called "board-in" - it's directly soldered into the board and can't be removed. They're very uncommon, but molex does have a bunch of different-pitch options if you search for "molex board-in", one might be close.

You'll almost certainly have to get two smaller housings and put them next to each other, I'd be surprised if anyone makes them 20 long now.

Hey thanks for pitching in! I also think Claude got it very wrong, but that kind of keyboard connector seems to be very old and it's gonna be difficult to find something to replace it these days. I wonder if we can use a replacement molex with crimped wires instead

it seems there was a model with a black pin header connector....as thats what ive got on my 464...just had to install pins into the board and the connector can be plugged and unplugged at will....
you could just replace the header on the keyboard side with a female 20 way inline pin header like used for arduinos etc

heres the pics as proof!
