This 50-pin FFC/FPC extender lets you connect two 50-pin 0.5mm pitch flat cables end-to-end to extend their total length. Simply plug a cable into each side of the board and you have a longer cable run — useful when the stock cable isn't quite long enough to reach.
The extender has two flip-lock FFC connectors mounted back-to-back. Pin 1 on one connector maps to pin 50 on the other, so you must use Type A cables (contacts on the same side) for correct pin-to-pin continuity.
Key Features
- 50-Pin, 0.5mm Pitch – Matches common FFC/FPC cable specifications
- End-to-End Extension – Join two cables to create a longer run
- Flip-Lock Connectors – Pry the ears open, insert cable contacts-up, snap closed for a secure connection
- Compact PCB – Minimal size added to your cable routing
Specifications
- Pins: 50
- Pitch: 0.5mm
- Cable Type Required: Type A (contacts on same side)
- Pin Mapping: Pin 1 ↔ Pin 50 (reversed — requires Type A cable)
Package Contents
- 1× 50-Pin 0.5mm FFC/FPC Extender Board
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.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
