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
Note: This breakout is for 1.0mm pitch touch panels only. It does not include a touch controller — you'll need to read the resistive signals directly with your microcontroller's analog inputs, or pair it with a separate touch controller breakout.

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 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.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
