This is a PCB converter board designed to connect FPC/FFC (Flexible Printed Circuit/Flexible Flat Cable) connectors to standard DIP (Dual In-line Package) connectors. It is commonly used in compact electronic devices where space is limited, such as laptops, DVD players, LCD monitors, and 3D printers. The board allows for easier integration of flat cables into systems that use standard through-hole components. It is ideal for DIY electronics projects and repair work where compatibility between different connector types is needed.
The board features a 4-pin design with a 0.5 mm pitch on the socket side and a 1.0 mm pitch on the back side, which connects to a 2.54 mm DIP header. This makes it suitable for converting signals from thin flexible cables to standard PCB headers. The compact size of 20x16x3.6 mm ensures it fits into tight spaces without adding bulk to the device. It is sold in a pack of five, making it convenient for multiple projects or replacements.
Installation involves flipping up the black interface, inserting the flat cable, and testing the connection. The board does not include the flat cable itself, so users must have that component ready. It is designed for use with ultra-thin flat flexible ribbon cables, which are common in modern electronics due to their space-saving design. The manual measurement of dimensions allows for a small margin of error, so slight variations in size may occur.
The converter board is useful in scenarios where existing hardware uses FPC/FFC connectors but requires compatibility with DIP components. This can be helpful in upgrading or repairing devices that use outdated or less common connector types. It supports various applications including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, and custom-built systems that require flexible connectivity solutions.
