the connector I am after is like the one above. It is used to slot the old cartridges into for gaming consoles. Just need the name of the connector so I can try to find a seller

Look for a very old floppy drive connector...

It's a 34 way 0.1 inch spacing edge connector.

About 20 years ago I was swimming in them.

They are called 'edge connectors' lots of styles to be found all over Ebay...

'card edge connector' or 'ribbon cable edge connector' are a few good Ebay searches to start with...

CC thanks. I am using this to make a multi sensor board, but when a specific sensor goesout I can simply remove 1 board and let the others do there work.
the only issue I have is making my pcb's now... I will have a few goes tomorrowto see how it goes.
