This connector looks OK what's wrong with it? It would be helpful seeing the logic board side if this is just a sample.

Also what is your exact model apple has produced a few different versions on the 14"model.

@danj A2442 My clip broke and I need a new one, but I don't know the exact specifications to buy.

@nekilc Apple part number for that is 518S00231. The keyboard Zif connector is a DDK FF14A-34C-R11DL-B-3H Do a search by the DDK (Fujikura) number instead of the Apple part number. Here is the Datasheet FF14A C

Just in case you have to try to find a matching one without the part number:

Series FF14A

Number of contacts 34

Connector height 0.9mm

Connector depth 4.43mm connector width 19.4mm

The issue here is that you cannot purchase the lock separately. You will have to find a replacement connector and then try to remove the lock from the new one to mount to the old one. Not easy but it can be done. I would get a couple of connectors just in case. Last resort will be to remove the old connector and solder a new one in its place. Big job for good tools and excellent skills.
