Give how cheap low volume dual sided PCB fab is these days, it might
make sense simply to lay out a board with the connector pattern on it
and send it off to be fabricated, in the quantity you want. The basic
fab would give you copper connectors, not gold plated, but that may
well be good enough, certainly for prototyping purposes.
If the board size is modest, you can create the layout with free tools.
