Re: [Gumstix-users] 0.5mm connector on SONY LCD

[Holly G. <hg...@ei...>]

Its pretty advanced and tricky as far as soldering goes. I consider 
myself practically a soldering ninja and it took me at least an hour to 
do it under a good microscope with titanium tweezers and excellent 
soldering equipment.

We do stuff around here constantly with 0.5mm pitch flat cable, so I 
have a handy breakout board that goes from an Omron XF2L-3035 footprint 
out to 0.1" dual row holes. For fewer number of pins than 30, you can 
just justify the connector (say a 22 pin one) against one side of the 
footprint or the other. I could send the gerber files for this PCB to 
you or post them online someplace.

I also might have a spare or two sitting around for people who are 
desperate. Soldering a 0.5mm connector to a board is not a cakewalk, but 
its a lot easier than soldering wire wrap wires to a 0.5mm connector.

Anyway, let me know if you are desperate for such a thing. Its hard to 
imagine no one makes such a thing commercially, but I haven't seen it if 
it is out there.
