Several models of cellphone seem to use these.  Fujitsu and OKI used
them, too.  All seemed to be the same size.  We would often just knock
out the center pin with a very small old chisel.

If you want the real thing, several of the suppliers to the cellular
dealers have them. ORA Electronics in CA (800-423-5337 or
800-431-8124) comes to mind ... they have a nice catalog of cellular
stuff and other electronics, too.  Since they are primarily
wholesalers, they like to deal with dealers, but are not too picky
about small orders.  I like their antennas, BTW.
