A small FFC/FPC adapter board can look interchangeable until pin count, pin direction, and board dimensions put it in a different role. For computers peripherals projects using flexible cables or flexible printed circuits, the practical choice here is between three 4-pin uxcell arrangements and a 10-pin Zaplyte right-angle adapter supplied as two boards. Start with the required connector layout, then use pitch and footprint details to narrow the field.
Quick take
- The three uxcell boards share a listed price of USD 14.84 and center on a 4-pin, 1.0 mm FPC socket-side, 0.5 mm back-side, and 2.54 mm DIP-pitch specification. Their meaningful distinction is the straight-needle, bent-pin pull-down, or bent-pin flip-down configuration.
- The Zaplyte option is listed at USD 13.37 and is the only selection titled as a 2-piece, 10-pin, double-row right-angle pin-header adapter.
- Board footprint separates the three uxcell choices: 26 x 17.5 mm for straight needles, 32 x 17.5 mm for bent pins with pull-down, and 33 x 17.5 mm for bent pins with flip-down.
Listed-price comparison
| Adapter board | Listed price | Price position |
|---|---|---|
| 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row Straight Needles Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board | USD 14.84 | |
| 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board | USD 14.84 | |
| 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Flip-down FFC FPC Adapter Board | USD 14.84 | |
| 2pcs FFC FPC Connector Board 10 Pin Double Row Right Angle Pin Header Adapter | USD 13.37 |
The listed-price spread is USD 1.47, so configuration is a much stronger decision point than price.
Decision matrix
- Need straight needles with a pull-down format: select the 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row Straight Needles Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board.
- Need bent pins with a pull-down format: select the 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board.
- Need bent pins with a flip-down format: select the 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Flip-down FFC FPC Adapter Board.
- Need a 10-pin, double-sided PCB support format: select the 2pcs FFC FPC Connector Board 10 Pin Double Row Right Angle Pin Header Adapter.
Product notes
uxcell straight-needle pull-down board
The 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row Straight Needles Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board is the most compact of the listed 4-pin uxcell formats at 26 x 17.5 mm. Its stated connector arrangement combines a 1 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 0.5 mm FPC back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch. Pick this one when the straight-needle pull-down layout is the required arrangement and the shorter 26 mm board length suits the space available. Its constraint is that shorter footprint: the two bent-pin uxcell boards are listed at 32 mm and 33 mm long instead.
uxcell bent-pin pull-down board
The 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board keeps the same pitch family as the other 4-pin uxcell choices while using the bent-pin pull-down configuration named in its title. At 32 x 17.5 mm, it occupies a middle position between the 26 mm straight-needle board and the 33 mm flip-down board. It is a focused fit for a build that specifically calls for bent pins and pull-down orientation. The package description specifies one FPC/FFC connector board, which is a different package count from the two-board Zaplyte option.
uxcell bent-pin flip-down board
The 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Flip-down FFC FPC Adapter Board is the 33 x 17.5 mm member of the 4-pin uxcell group. It retains the stated 1 mm socket-side, 0.5 mm back-side, and 2.54 mm DIP pitches, but the title identifies a flip-down format rather than pull-down. Choose it for a 33 mm board footprint alongside the bent-pin flip-down arrangement. Its limitation is equally specific: among the three uxcell boards, it has the longest overall length, so it is not the compact 26 mm or intermediate 32 mm footprint.
Zaplyte 10-pin right-angle two-piece board
The 2pcs FFC FPC Connector Board 10 Pin Double Row Right Angle Pin Header Adapter stands apart as the only 10-pin selection and the only option supplied as two boards. Its description identifies a double-sided PCB support with a single flat-cable socket, 0.5 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 1.0 mm FPC back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch. Select it for a project centered on that 10-pin right-angle adapter format rather than the 4-pin uxcell configurations. The 33 x 20 mm overall size is wider than the 17.5 mm-wide uxcell boards, making its stated footprint a key constraint.
Final recommendation by use case
For the shortest listed uxcell format, choose the straight-needle pull-down board at 26 x 17.5 mm. For a 32 x 17.5 mm bent-pin footprint, choose the bent-pin pull-down board. For the 33 x 17.5 mm uxcell layout, choose the bent-pin flip-down board. Choose the Zaplyte adapter when the project calls for the listed 10-pin, double-sided, two-board right-angle format.
