Flex (FPC/FFC) connectors and how to connect to them...

[Jaye Gallagher]

Hi there,

I've ordered an OLED display from Mouser, and the data sheet for it
specifies that it has a TAB style connection with pin spacing at 0.65mm. I'm
imagining the I need an FPC/FFC style connector, but, try as I might, I
can't find one in this pitch anywhere (data sheet specifies pin to pin
spacing of 0.648+-0.03mm to be exact). Does anyone have any idea where I
might find something like this (I've tried all the obvious places: Google,
Mouser, Digikey, Molex, Amp, etc.).

Is it possible to solder directly to flexible circuit board? This might be
my only option...

Thanks,
Jaye.

Why don't you ask Varitronix what kind of connection they recommend?
