If it's for your laptop, I'm 70% certain that what your looking for is:
From Digikey catalog page (PDF), 1st page, Figure 1, 6
- Connector housing: 1.25mm housing, Molex Part #51021-0400 (measure your part and check the dimensions to be sure)
- Crimp pins: Molex Part #50058-8000
- Some 28-32 AWG wire with some thin insulation
- The $170/$450 crimping tool to get the pins crimped properly
- OR -
time, patience, steady hands, and a fine pair of needle-nosed pliers
There really isn't anything in the desktop world that uses these things so stores like Frys and Radio Shack won't stock cables with these connectors. I was looking for almost the same exact (well, I needed 2-pins) thing not too long ago. And shop around: the other electronics mail order places might carry the items at better prices and don't have some minimum order surcharge.
