Hi im a complete noob when it comes to HW. I am looking for something like flat flex cable (FFC/FPC) sockets, with a breakout board or something simillarly low profile to create shields that I can just plug a ribbon into. (also how to attach the cable to stuff like a 4x3 keypad or a LCD screen. so if you guys know of any good tutorials for that please share … )
currently I am using 2x5 shrouded headers and ribbon cable with crimps … I am looking for lower profile solutions.
If i could still use regular ribbon cable that would be sweet but. I am looking for something with a profile closer to FPC/FFC stuff.
anyway please help … ive been googling for two days and I dont even really know what Im looking for, FFC socket with through hole soldering that I can attach to a protoboard or perfboard…
