Computers Peripherals: Choose an FFC/FPC Connector Board by Pin Count

Choose among four FFC/FPC connector boards by matching the stated pin count and board format first, then use the listed $13.37 to $19.36 range and two-piece adapter options to narrow the choice.

Last updated Jul 28, 2026

Choosing an FFC/FPC connector board for computers peripherals is less about finding a universally better board and more about matching a precise connection format. The key split here is between PCB converter boards and double-row right-angle pin-header adapters, with stated counts ranging from 4 pins to 14 pins. Start with the required pin arrangement, then use the listed price and package wording to settle the closest match.

Quick take

The FPC Connector Board 14P 0.5mm 2.54mm to 1.0mm 2.54mm Printer PCB Converter Board is the highest-listed option at $19.36 and carries the group's largest stated pin count. The FPC Connector Board 12P 0.5mm 2.54mm to 1.0mm 2.54mm DVD PCB Converter Board takes the middle converter-board position at $18.17. For double-row right-angle adapters labeled as two-piece options, the 10-pin version is listed at $13.37 and the 4-pin version at $13.65. The full listed-price spread is $5.99.

Decision matrix

  • Choose the format before comparing price. The Printer and DVD choices are explicitly labeled PCB converter boards, while the two lower-priced choices are labeled double-row right-angle pin-header adapters.
  • Match the stated pin requirement exactly. Each name identifies a different count, so count should drive the first cut rather than the small difference between the two right-angle adapters.
  • Use package wording for quantity needs. Both right-angle adapter titles explicitly identify two pieces, while the converter-board titles focus on a single board format.
  • Consider board measurements when they matter to the build. The two converter-board descriptions include overall dimensions, unlike the adapter titles' more concise size wording.

Product notes

FPC Connector Board 14P 0.5mm 2.54mm to 1.0mm 2.54mm Printer PCB Converter Board

Choose the Zaplyte 14P converter board when the project calls for its stated 14-pin PCB converter format. Its description is especially specific about the connection layout: a 0.5 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 1.0 mm FPC back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch. It also lists an overall size of 33 x 26 x 11.5 mm, giving this option the most detailed dimensional profile in the group. At $19.36, it is the highest-listed choice. The limiting factor is its dedicated 14-pin layout, which makes exact pin-count matching essential.

FPC Connector Board 12P 0.5mm 2.54mm to 1.0mm 2.54mm DVD PCB Converter Board

The Zaplyte 12P board is the converter-board choice for a stated 12-pin requirement. It uses the same named FPC socket-side, back-side, and DIP pitch scheme as the other converter board, but its listed overall dimensions are 33 x 24 x 8 mm. That makes it a clearly defined alternative when the 14P board's count is not the target. Its listed price is $18.17, positioned between the 14P converter board and the two right-angle adapters. The constraint is straightforward: the 12-pin configuration is specific, rather than interchangeable with the other counts in this comparison.

2pcs FFC FPC Connector Board 10 Pin Double Row Right Angle Pin Header Adapter

The 10-pin Zaplyte adapter is the pick for shoppers who want the explicitly stated two-piece package and a double-row right-angle pin-header format. At $13.37, it has the lowest listed price in the group, while still retaining the FFC/FPC connector-board focus shared across the comparison. Its title calls out a 10-pin arrangement rather than the PCB converter-board labeling used by the Printer and DVD options. That named format is also its limitation: it is designed around the stated right-angle adapter layout and 10-pin count, not the other listed connection counts.

2 x FFC FPC Connector Board 4 Pin Double Row Right Angle Pin Header Adapter

The uxcell 4-pin adapter fits a need for the smallest stated pin count here, paired with a title that specifies two units and a double-row right-angle pin header. Its $13.65 listed price keeps it close to the 10-pin two-piece adapter while serving a distinctly different pin requirement. The compact size wording, 32 x 17 mm, may also be useful when comparing it with the larger measurements given for the converter-board entries. Its main limitation is the narrowly defined 4-pin format; it is the right choice only when that stated count and right-angle adapter configuration align with the connection needed.

Final recommendation by use case

Pick the 14P Printer PCB Converter Board when a 14-pin converter-board format is the requirement. Choose the 12P DVD PCB Converter Board for the corresponding 12-pin converter-board setup. For a two-piece double-row right-angle adapter, select the 10 Pin version when its count matches the connection, or the 4 Pin uxcell version when the smaller stated count is the deciding factor.
