Break out those tricky 0.5 mm pitch flex cable connections to breadboard-friendly 0.1" spaced headers with this FPC adapter board. The 50-pin connector on top accommodates most ZIF and snap-style FPC connectors, and each pin is broken out to a standard 0.1" × 0.1" header pad for easy prototyping.
A single long mechanical pad runs the full length of the board, so you can fit any 0.5 mm pitch connector from 40 to 50 pins. Pads are doubled on the opposite side for breadboard-friendly insertion.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- 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.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- LCD
- LCD stands for liquid crystal display, a screen technology that uses a backlight and liquid crystals to show images or text. It matters because LCD modules usually need a display driver and enough controller pins or a bus interface to send image data.
- 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.
