Since the membrane switch tails always fail eventually, are you sure your
problem is with the connector?

Anyway, they're called Trio-mate connectors, and they're made by Tyco
Electronics. Digikey stocks the 7-pin ones, and Mouser stocks the 7- and
10-pin ones. In a pinch, you could use the 7-pin one in place of the 5-pin
one by cutting off the extra pins and carefully aligning the ribbon by eye.
