FPC FFC 0.5mm Flexible Flat Cable — Ribbon Cable for LCD, Camera & PCB Adapter
FPC/FFC 0.5mm Flexible Flat Cable — Precision Ribbon Cables for LCD Displays, Cameras & High-Density PCB Connections
FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) and FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) cables at 0.5mm pitch are the industry standard for display panel connections, camera module interfaces, touchscreen digitizer wiring, and high-density PCB-to-PCB interconnects in consumer electronics, industrial displays, and embedded systems. The 0.5mm pitch is the most common FPC/FFC pitch worldwide, used in virtually every smartphone display, tablet touchscreen, laptop keyboard, and industrial LCD panel. This collection provides the complete 0.5mm FPC/FFC ecosystem: cables in all standard pin counts and lengths, plus adapter boards for prototyping and development.

FPC/FFC 0.5mm Cable Buying Guide
Step 1 — Confirm pitch: 0.5mm is the most common FPC/FFC pitch, but 0.3mm, 1.0mm, and 1.25mm also exist. Measure the contact spacing on your existing cable or connector with a magnifier and caliper before ordering.
Step 2 — Count pins: Count the number of conductors on your existing cable. FPC/FFC cables are available in both even and odd pin counts. Our collection covers virtually all standard pin counts from 4P to 40P.
Step 3 — Cable type (A vs B): A-type cables have contacts on the same side at both ends. B-type (reverse) cables have contacts on opposite sides at each end. Check your connector orientation — most standard connectors use A-type. If your device requires a 180° flip, you need B-type.
Step 4 — Length: Measure the required cable length from connector to connector with slack for routing. Standard lengths are 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, and 300mm. Custom lengths are available on request.
Step 5 — Adapter boards: If you need to connect a 0.5mm FPC cable to a standard 2.54mm breadboard or development board, use our 0.5mm-to-2.54mm adapter boards. Available in 6P to 40P configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between FPC and FFC cables?
A: FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) cables are manufactured using PCB etching processes and can include multiple layers, impedance-controlled traces, and complex routing. FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) cables are simpler, using parallel conductors laminated between insulating films. For most display and camera applications, FFC cables are used. Both use the same 0.5mm pitch connectors.
Q: What is A-type vs B-type FFC cable?
A: A-type cables have the contact pads on the same side at both ends (same-side contacts). B-type cables have contact pads on opposite sides at each end (reverse contacts). Most standard FFC connectors use A-type. Check your device's connector orientation before ordering.
Q: Can I use a 0.5mm FFC cable to replace a damaged display ribbon cable?
A: Yes, provided you match the pitch (0.5mm), pin count, cable type (A or B), and length. For display replacements, also verify the connector lock type (top-contact or bottom-contact ZIF connector) matches your device.
Q: What are the adapter boards used for?
A: The 0.5mm-to-2.54mm adapter boards allow you to connect a 0.5mm FPC/FFC cable to standard 2.54mm (0.1") pin headers, enabling connection to breadboards, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development platforms for prototyping and testing.
Q: Do you stock odd pin count FFC cables (7P, 9P, 11P, etc.)?
A: Yes. Our collection includes both even and odd pin counts from 4P to 40P, covering virtually all standard display and camera module pin counts including the commonly needed 7P, 9P, 11P, 13P, 15P, and other odd counts.
