A 25cm flexible flat cable (FFC) with 40 pins at 0.5mm pitch and Type A-B connections (contacts on opposite sides at each end). Designed for use with 40-pin FPC-to-IDC adapter PCBs to extend Raspberry Pi GPIO connections or other 40-pin ribbon cable applications.
Pair this cable with compatible FPC-to-2×20 IDC adapter boards to route your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header through a flexible, low-profile cable. The cable can also be extended further using a 40-pin FPC extender.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight. It matters because this breakout needs the correct pin count and pitch FPC cable to connect reliably to the display or high-speed interface.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
