Quick verdict
A flexible-cable connection for computers peripherals is rarely a matter of choosing the board with the most pins. The cable's pin count and pitch arrangement decide the match first, while the two listed prices sit close together.
Choose the FFC FPC Connector Board 30 Pins Double Row Male Pin Header Strip Adapter when the project calls for 30 pins, a 0.5 mm FPC socket-side pitch, and a 1.0 mm back-side pitch. At USD 14.22, it is the lower-priced listed option. Choose the 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Flip-down FFC FPC Adapter Board for a four-pin cable with a 1 mm socket-side pitch and 0.5 mm back-side pitch. Its listed price is USD 14.84, making the spread $0.62.
At-a-glance comparison
| Decision point | 30-Pin Male Pin Header Strip Adapter | 4-Pin Bent-Pin Flip-Down Adapter Board |
|---|---|---|
| Listed price | USD 14.22 | USD 14.84 |
| Pin count | 30 pins | 4 pins |
| FPC socket-side pitch | 0.5 mm | 1 mm |
| FPC back-side pitch | 1.0 mm | 0.5 mm |
| DIP pitch | 2.54 mm | 2.54 mm |
| Overall size | 26 x 40 mm | 33 x 17.5 mm |
| Title configuration | Double-row male pin header strip | Double row of bent pins, flip-down |
Where each board wins
The 30-pin board is the direct choice for a cable and board layout built around 30 connections. Its listed 26 x 40 mm footprint and double-row male pin header strip format make it the more specifically configured option of the pair. The lower listed price is a secondary advantage only after the 30-pin, 0.5 mm socket-side arrangement is established.
The 4-pin board wins when four connections-not 30-are needed. Its title calls out bent pins and a flip-down format, while its pitch sequence reverses the 30-pin board's arrangement: 1 mm at the socket side and 0.5 mm at the back side. Both boards are new uxcell cable connectors with a 2.54 mm DIP pitch, so that shared measurement does not settle the choice.
Product notes
FFC FPC Connector Board 30 Pins Double Row Male Pin Header Strip Adapter
The strongest reason to select this adapter is its 30-pin configuration. It is designed around a 0.5 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 1.0 mm back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch, giving a clearly defined set of connection measurements for a 30-position flexible cable arrangement. The board is also listed as double sided and measures 26 x 40 mm. That specificity is helpful when those dimensions and pin count are already part of the design. Its limitation is equally clear: a 30-pin board is not the appropriate choice for a project centered on the four-pin layout of the flip-down alternative. Pick this board for the exact 30-pin requirement, not simply because its listed price is lower.
4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Flip-down FFC FPC Adapter Board
This board is the focused option for a four-pin FFC/FPC connection. The listed configuration combines a 1 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 0.5 mm back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch, with double-row bent pins and a flip-down format named directly in the title. At 33 x 17.5 mm, it also has a notably different shape from the 30-pin board. The key limitation is capacity: its four-pin specification does not serve a 30-pin connection requirement. Its USD 14.84 listed price is only $0.62 above the other board, so pin count and pitch orientation should matter far more than that small price spread.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the 30-Pin Male Pin Header Strip Adapter for a 30-pin flexible cable arrangement with 0.5 mm on the socket side and 1.0 mm on the back side.
- Choose the 4-Pin Bent-Pin Flip-Down Adapter Board for a four-pin arrangement with 1 mm on the socket side and 0.5 mm on the back side.
- Use the shared 2.54 mm DIP pitch as a common starting point, then make the final decision by pin count and the direction of the two FPC pitch measurements.
The practical answer is straightforward: select the board whose pin count and pitch sequence match the connection being planned. Between these two, the 30-pin model serves the larger-count layout, while the flip-down board serves the four-pin layout.
