A pass-through breakout board for 0.5mm connectors up to 40 pins.

Each signal is brought out to one of two 0.1" spacing headers. Typical use is to debug or reverse-engineer display interfaces, but of course it could also be used to join two flex cables. Board size is 40x32mm. This board was born after a particularly painful troubleshooting session on a poorly documented display. By hacking something like this together, it became possible to sniff traffic to the controller and figure out what did the vendor forget to include in the datasheet! Made in the USA.
Note: only bare board is included. Populated versions available by request or as an option. If you need a different pitch- let me know

Great product

It took so long to find exactly like this product. I needed to extend flex cables to get access to the device easily.
This made it possible. Quality is good, and it also has testing connection to each line that helped to verify the connectivity.

There is no documentation attached to this product. But, it is obvious to know how to use this product, and documentation was not needed.
