The Adafruit Touch Screen Breakout Board provides a simple way to connect a 4-wire resistive touch panel with a 1.0mm pitch FPC connector to your project. The connector is soldered onto a compact breakout board, with the four resistive wires broken out to standard through-hole pads for easy breadboarding or soldering.
The board measures just 12.7mm × 12.7mm (0.5" × 0.5") and includes two mounting holes for strain relief. The double-sided FPC connector works with both top-contact and bottom-contact flex PCBs, making it compatible with a wide range of resistive touch panels that use 1.0mm pitch connectors.
Key Features
- 1.0mm Pitch FPC Connector – Accepts 4-pin resistive touch panel flex cables
- Double-Sided Connector – Compatible with both top-contact and bottom-contact flex PCBs
- Compact Design – 12.7mm × 12.7mm breakout with standard through-hole pads
- Two Mounting Holes – For secure installation and strain relief
- 4-Wire Resistive Output – Breaks out all four resistive wires for direct connection
Ideal For
- Adding resistive touch input to custom display projects
- Prototyping with resistive touch panels
- Connecting 1.0mm FPC touch overlays to breadboards
Package Contents
- 1× Touch Screen Breakout Board (4-pin, 1.0mm FPC)

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- FPC
- FPC stands for flexible printed circuit, a thin flat flexible cable or connector style often used where space is tight or some movement is needed, commonly for displays, cameras and other high-density connections. Connecting to an FPC connector generally needs a matching cable with the correct pin count, pitch and contact orientation.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
