Computer Peripherals FPC Connector Boards: Choose the Right Pin Count and Format

Choose among four FFC/FPC converter boards by starting with the named pin count and board format. The options span $13.37 to $20.69, from a two-piece 10-pin header adapter to 6P, 12P, and 14P converter boards.

Last updated Aug 1, 2026

Selecting FPC connector boards for computer peripherals is less about choosing a broadly similar adapter and more about matching the pin-count format named for your project. This group includes DVD PCB converter boards in 6P and 12P formats, a 14P Printer PCB converter board, and a two-piece 10-pin header adapter. Their listed prices span $13.37 to $20.69, a $7.32 spread, so the format decision should come first.

Quick take

For the lowest listed price and a pair of boards, the 2pcs FFC FPC Connector Board 10 Pin Double Row Right Angle Pin Header Adapter is the clear starting point. Choose between the two DVD PCB converter boards according to whether the title's 6P or 12P format fits your selection. The 14P Printer PCB Converter Board is the choice here for the largest named pin count.

All four are listed as new cable connectors and are described for connecting flexible cables or flexible printed circuit boards. Their shared FPC socket-side, back-side, and DIP pitch naming means the meaningful distinctions are the stated pin count, the DVD or printer converter wording, the header-adapter format, and the listed price.

Decision matrix

  • Want the lowest listed-price entry: Choose the 10-pin header adapter pair at $13.37.
  • Choosing between DVD PCB converter formats: Narrow the decision to the 6P Duefixing board or the 12P Zaplyte board, then use the named pin count as the deciding factor.
  • Need the Printer PCB Converter Board title: Select the 14P Zaplyte option.
  • Prioritize the largest named pin count in this group: The 14P Printer PCB Converter Board is the relevant entry.
  • Want a pair rather than a single board title: The 10-pin header adapter explicitly states 2pcs.

Product notes

Duefixing DVD PCB Converter Board

Choose this converter board when the 6-pin format named in its title is the required selection. It is described as a double-sided PCB-support board with a single flat-cable socket, and its stated overall dimensions are 33 x 17.5 x 8 mm. The board is positioned for flexible-cable and flexible-PCB connections in compact electronics-oriented applications. Its limitation is straightforward: it is the 6-pin configuration, rather than one of the higher-count formats represented here. It also has the highest listed price in the group at $20.69, making its specific format the main reason to select it.

Zaplyte DVD PCB Converter Board

The 12P Zaplyte DVD PCB Converter Board suits a selection centered on the 12-pin format. Its listed dimensions are 33 x 24 x 8 mm, and it carries the same cable-connector type and new condition as the other entries. At $18.17, it sits below both the 6P DVD board and the 14P Printer board in listed price while retaining the DVD PCB converter wording. The trade-off is that this is specifically the 12-pin choice; shoppers seeking a different named pin-count format should use the corresponding alternative instead.

Zaplyte Printer PCB Converter Board

Pick the Zaplyte Printer PCB Converter Board when the 14-pin title format is the target. Among these four entries, it has the largest named pin count, and its stated size is 33 x 26 x 11.5 mm. The Printer PCB converter wording also distinguishes it from the two DVD-labeled converter boards and the header adapter. Its listed price is $19.36, placing it between the highest-priced 6P board and the 12P DVD board. The limitation is its specificity: it is the 14-pin Printer PCB converter format, not a DVD converter board or a two-piece header adapter.

Zaplyte Header Adapter Pair

Choose the Zaplyte Header Adapter Pair when a two-piece 10-pin option is the right fit. Its title identifies a double-row right-angle pin header adapter, while the description identifies a 10-pin PCB-support board for flexible-cable connections. The stated board size is 33 x 20 mm, and its $13.37 listed price is the lowest among the four choices. That makes it the logical pick when the pair count and 10-pin adapter format matter. Its limitation is format specificity: it is not one of the DVD or Printer PCB converter boards, and it remains a 10-pin selection.

Final recommendation by use case

Choose the 2pcs FFC FPC Connector Board 10 Pin Double Row Right Angle Pin Header Adapter for the lowest listed price or when the title's pair format is required. Choose the FPC Connector Board 6P DVD PCB Converter Board or 12P DVD PCB Converter Board when your decision is between those two DVD converter pin counts. Choose the FPC Connector Board 14P Printer PCB Converter Board when the Printer PCB converter wording and the largest named pin count are the priorities.
