Choosing an FFC/FPC adapter board for computers peripherals comes down to matching the connector count and named pin arrangement to the cable connection you need. Three choices center on 4-pin connections with different bent-pin or straight-needle layouts, while one board moves to a 30-pin double-row male header-strip format. The listed prices are close, so configuration is the main decision point.
Quick take
- Choose a 4-pin board when the connection calls for a 4-pin FFC/FPC arrangement.
- Select the bent pins flip-down, bent pins pull-down, or straight needles pull-down version according to the orientation named for your setup.
- Move to the 30-pin board when a 30-pin double-row male pin header strip adapter is the required format.
All four are listed as new uxcell cable connectors. Each carries the same California Prop 65 warning.

Product notes
4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Flip-down FFC FPC Adapter Board
Choose the flip-down board when the requirement is specifically a four-pin FFC/FPC connection with the named double row of bent pins. Its stated overall size is 33 x 17.5 mm, with a 1 mm FPC socket-side pitch and 2.54 mm DIP pitch. The listed price is USD 14.84. The key limitation is its 4-pin count, which places it in a different connector-count category from the 30-pin header-strip adapter. Its title also makes the pin arrangement clear: bent pins in a flip-down format rather than straight needles or the pull-down wording used by the other 4-pin selections.
4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board
The pull-down bent-pin version fits a four-pin build where that exact named arrangement is the deciding detail. It is listed at 32 x 17.5 mm and uses a 1 mm FPC socket-side pitch plus a 2.54 mm DIP pitch. At USD 14.84, its price matches the other two 4-pin boards. Its limitation is also its defining feature: the title specifies bent pins and pull-down orientation, not the flip-down terminology of the first board or the straight-needle terminology of the third. It remains a 4-pin cable connector rather than the 30-pin double-row male header-strip format.
4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row Straight Needles Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board
Pick the straight-needles pull-down board when four pins are required and the straight-needle description is the relevant layout cue. The board's listed dimensions are 26 x 17.5 mm, and the description cites a 1 mm socket-side pitch with a 2.54 mm DIP pitch. Its listed price is USD 14.84. The tradeoff is that the board stays within the 4-pin format, so it does not serve the same pin-count need as the 30-pin adapter. It also differs in title wording from the two bent-pin alternatives, making it the clearest choice among the four for a straight-needles pull-down designation.
FFC FPC Connector Board 30 Pins Double Row Male Pin Header Strip Adapter
For a higher pin-count connection, the FFC FPC Connector Board 30 Pins Double Row Male Pin Header Strip Adapter is the direct match in this group. It has 30 pins, a double-sided board design, and a single flat-cable socket, with a listed size of 26 x 40 mm. The listed price is USD 14.22. Its limitation is straightforward: the 30-pin male pin header strip format is not one of the 4-pin bent-pin or straight-needles arrangements. Choose it for the stated 30-pin configuration rather than as an alternative to a four-pin connection.
Final recommendation by use case
Choose the flip-down model for a named 4-pin bent-pin flip-down arrangement, the pull-down bent-pin model for its corresponding 4-pin orientation, and the straight-needles version when that designation is needed. Select the 30-pin double-row male pin header strip adapter when pin count is the deciding factor and the connection calls for its double-sided, single-flat-cable-socket board format.
