Straight vs Bent 4Pin FFC/FPC Adapter Boards: Which Pin Format Should You Choose?

These two uxcell 4-pin FFC/FPC adapter boards share the same USD 14.84 listed price and core pitch details. Choose between the straight-needle 26 mm board and the bent-pin 32 mm board based on the pin arrangement and stated board length you need.

Last updated Jul 28, 2026

Choosing a small FFC/FPC adapter board comes down to a detail that can decide the whole fit: straight needles or bent pins. Both listed uxcell 4-pin boards carry the same USD 14.84 price and share the same connector purpose, so the meaningful choice is the pin configuration and the stated overall board length.

Quick verdict

Pick the 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row Straight Needles Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board when your project calls for the straight-needle version and its 26 x 17.5 mm overall size. Choose the 4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board when bent pins are the required format; its stated size is 32 x 17.5 mm.

There is no listed-price tie-breaker here: each board is USD 14.84. Both are new cable connectors with four pins, a 1 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 0.5 mm FPC back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch.

Where each product wins

Straight Needles Adapter Board: The advantage is its straight-needle configuration, paired with the shorter 26 mm stated length. It is the direct choice when those two named physical-format details align with the board format you are working with.

Bent Pins Adapter Board: This is the focused pick for a bent-pin arrangement. Its 32 mm stated length distinguishes it from the straight-needle board while retaining the same four-pin count and listed pitch details.

Product notes

4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row Straight Needles Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board

Choose this board for the straight needles called out in its title. It is a four-pin FFC/FPC connector board with a 1 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 0.5 mm FPC back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch. The stated 26 x 17.5 mm overall size makes it the shorter of the two listed boards by length. Its description positions this connector-board format for flexible cables or flexible printed circuit boards used in compact electronics applications, including computer peripherals. One connector board is included. The trade-off is simple: its USD 14.84 price is identical to the bent-pin version, so the straight configuration must be the reason to select it rather than cost.

4Pin 1.0 to 2.54 mm Double Row of Bent Pins Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board

The reason to select this version is explicit in the title: it uses a double row of bent pins rather than straight needles. It keeps the same four-pin count, 1 mm FPC socket-side pitch, 0.5 mm FPC back-side pitch, and 2.54 mm DIP pitch as its straight counterpart. Its stated overall size is 32 x 17.5 mm, making the length 6 mm greater than the straight-needle board's stated 26 mm length. The package includes one FPC/FFC connector board, and the product is listed as new under the Cable Connector type. The limitation is that the longer, bent-pin format is a specific configuration choice, not a lower-priced alternative: it is also listed at USD 14.84.

Final choice by use case

Choose the Straight Needles Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board for a straight-needle, 26 x 17.5 mm board format. Choose the Bent Pins Pull-down FFC FPC Adapter Board when your intended format calls for bent pins and the stated 32 x 17.5 mm size. Since the price and core four-pin pitch specifications match, match the pin arrangement first, then use the listed board length as the final separator.
