Introduction
The cable and connector requirements for displays featured in this website are many and varied. To simplify the selection process Anglia Displays has devised reference codes to identify which cables and connectors match your chosen display.
The easy way to select these is to go to the relevant display section, either TFT, Graphic or Character, and click on the
icon next to your chosen display. This will open a window in your web browser with additional information and data.
Under the heading ‘Display Accessories’ we have given each display a reference code or group of reference codes that identify which cables and connectors match the display together with their part numbers for ordering.
Clicking on the
icon next to these codes will take you to the relevant information on our website.
Data cable, adaptors and connectors
Most Hitachi displays use Flat Flexible Cable for the data input connections. Whilst some of the displays will have the cable already fitted and require only an FFC connector for your driver PCB, the majority will have an FFC connector only, which requires a cable plus an FFC connector for your driver PCB.
Most Bona Fide displays have only holes in the PCB and will require pin headers and a mating socket for your driver PCB.
Backlight connectors
Displays with LED backlights may require a pin header or an FFC connector on your driver PCB to accept the flying lead from the display. Some displays have a pin header that requires a crimp socket to mate. CCFL backlight units on Hitachi displays have a flying lead connector which mates with their inverter PCB, whereas Bona CCFL units are terminated through the data connector.
Inverter connectors
CCFL inverter units have a pin header as the DC input connector and require a specific crimp socket to mate.
Touchscreen connectors
Hitachi touchscreen units have a 4 way FFC tail fitted and require a 4 way FFC connector on your touchscreen controller PCB.
