The Adafruit FPC Stick is a double-sided adapter PCB for connecting to 0.5 mm or 1.0 mm pitch flat flexible cables (FPCs). One side accommodates 0.5 mm pitch connectors, while the other handles 1.0 mm pitch — and it can also work with some 2.0 mm pitch connectors. Each of the 20 FPC pads breaks out to a standard 0.1-inch (2.54 mm) spaced header row for easy breadboard prototyping.
The long pads are designed to accommodate most ZIF (zero-insertion force) and snap-style FPC connectors, making it a versatile tool for quickly prototyping with flat flex cables and ribbon connectors.
Key Features
- 20-Pin FPC Adapter – Breaks out FPC pads to standard 0.1-inch header spacing
- Dual-Sided Design – 0.5 mm pitch on one side, 1.0 mm pitch on the other
- Wide Compatibility – Works with most ZIF and snap FPC connectors; also suits some 2.0 mm pitch cables
- Long Pads + Mechanical Pad – Extra-long contact pads plus a mechanical support pad for secure connector attachment
Ideal For
- Prototyping with FPC/FFC ribbon cables
- Testing displays, touchscreens, and other FPC-connected components
- Breaking out fine-pitch connectors to breadboard-friendly spacing
Package Contents
- 1× FPC Stick double-sided PCB (header and connectors not included)
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.
