## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=PRT-15095:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PRT-15095:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This is a 40-pin surface mount FPC (Flat Printed Circuit) connector. Nothing too fancy here, except that it can be plugged in either way - contacts up or down. This is useful for manufacturers because they only have to keep one item in stock. It is useful for consumers because they can use one connector to fit in multiple orientations.

This product fits the [1.77 TFT LCD Display 160x128 RGB - 3 Wire](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15094) and thanks to its dual-sided nature you can use it upside down or all-around.

 **TFT Display Not Included** This product mates and is pictured with the [1.8in. TFT LCD 160x128 RGB](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15094)- 40 pins
- 0.5mm pitch
- Top/bottom side contacts (both)
- Locking
