you lost me,
FPC connectors are for flat cables - you dont have male/female

unless you mean contacts down vs contacts up

Like these stj, https://store.rossmanngroup.com/inde...tor-j2401.html , but smaller, 8 pins a side.

those arent FPC, they are pcb interconnects.
and a pain in the ass to 100% identify.
but to get you started, most are made by MOLEX and are from the "SlimStack" series

i have been chasing those for a while to fix motorola DMR radio's
