Popular FPC dimensions

May 12, 2016 2 Replies

For a size constraint project I want to use FPC-connectors and cables. There seem to exist all pitches/pin-count combinations. Since I want to use at least two connectors I am somewhat free to choose. One would expect a consolidation in this domain so that some combinations would be easier available, existence of breakout boards, adapters, etc. The only widespread standard interface I am aware of is the cameras and displays on the Raspberry-Pi and similar boards. But there should be other, larger segments that might have standardized pin-count/pitches for Flex-cables.



I tried to find out through pricing, hit-count on Alibaba and friends but the result was not clear.



Advice appreciated.

The usual method is to look for zillions in stock at the distributors.

Half-pitch ribbon cables are cheap and multi-sourced. It's easy to get or make cables of any length.
