Where to find Socket for BS2P40?

I'm trying to integrate a BS2P40 into a circuit board I'm building.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a 40 pin socket for it. I tried
digikey but they only have low profile ones and judging from the
socket on my P40 Demo board, the thickness of the socket is just shy
of .2 inches.

    Why not use two 20-pin SIP headers lined up at the spacing needed
    (0.2" is it)?

    Eric,

    I have used the low profile ones from Digi-Key for the p40 and they work
    fine. Why do you not want a low profile holder?

    Jonathan,
    Thanks for the info. I have no problem using a low
    profile socket. I was just concerned that the pins of
    the BS2P40 would be too long for it. My demo board
    came with the BS2P40 already on it. I started trying
    to pry out the stamp to look at the pins but stopped
    since the stamp seemed to be flexing quite a bit. I
    didn't want to destroy the stamp just yet.

    Eric,

    You do have to be careful, the p40 is long and skinny. If you need to go in
    and out a bunch, you might want a ZIF (zero insertion force) socket. Don't
    use metal tools to pry the chip out if you can help it, and work from both
    ends.
