Pictiva TAB connector

Oct 09, 2006 4 Replies

I'm looking at possibly using one of OSRAM's Pictiva OLED displays in a future project but I'm stuck trying to find some sort of connector for the TAB connect on it. It's basically a flex circuit with 31 connection pads on 0.4mm spacing if I've read the rather minal data sheet publically available correctly.



I could probably develop one using elastomeric connectors and I will probably take a look at that but for initial prototyping at least I'd like to use an off the shelf connector if one exists.



Anyone worked with one of these before?

I use a 33 way FFC connector (on 0.5mm pitch, admittedly) for a display. I get them from Molex. If you haven't had more responses by the time I get in, I'll post the part family. It would seem silly to make a product for which there isn't a commercially available connector.

Much appreciated. I've got an inquiry in to Osram as well, also asking them for a complete data sheet. The elastomeric approach looks like it might be quite feasable (AMP has an interesting product using it that isn't quite general enough), and if it is I wouldn't mind having the technique in my back pocket but a commercial connector would be much better.

Follow-ups reduced.

Hi Robert

Can you confirm 0.4mm pitch? All the suppliers I use (AVX, JST, Molex, AMP) do 0.3mm and 0.5mm, but not 0.4mm.

Seems odd to put a non-standard connector on something especially when there isn't FFC to actually fit either.

I'm with you on that.

I went back and checked. I did misread the drawing. The 0.4mm is either the gap between conductors or the width of the conductor (they also use it as tolerance in their total width dimension and I misread it as n*pitch). The actual pitch is 0.7mm. I've not seen that pitch either so I'm not sure that helps.

Thanks for the attempt though, I appreciate the effort.
