[WIP] Connector types

LVDS, eDP, connectors and controllers - let's learn it all

LCD panels use different connectors, and for some projects, you might need to source the connectors, plugs or contact. Here, I'll gradually assemble information about part numbers, as I either find it or someone else shares it. If you cannot find it here, mind that often connector information is found in your LCD's datasheet, or a datasheet of an LCD with the same connector. If you find information that isn't present here, please leave it in the comment section below!


FI-X 30-pin connectors for CCFL LVDS

These tend to be JAE FI-X series connectors. Such connectors are found on cables like FIX-30P-D6 and FIX-30P-S6, typically used for CCFL-backlight LVDS LCDs. Contact housing (plug) is called FI-X30H (HL for the locking version), individual contacts can be found as FI-XC3A-1-15000 and mating parts can be found as FI-XB30SSLA-HF15, FI-XB30SSRLA-HF16, FI-X30SSLA-HF, FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 - there might be more, but they all should be described on the page linked right above. On Aliexpress, FI-X30SSLA-HF-R2500 has given particularly good results for sourcing SMD connectors themselves.

Thanks to @helge to sharing this!

40-pin and 30-pin LVDS-LED and eDP connectors

The 40-pin version

These connectors tend to be used for both LVDS LED-enabled and eDP screens (30-pin for common ones, 40-pin for high-res or touch-enabled screens). The original part number seems to be I-PEX 20455-030 and I-PEX 20455-040, and the 30-pin and 40-pin SMD sockets are found on LCSC as JUSHUO ALC04-S30EIA-00 and ALC04-S40EIA-00 respectively. I searched for "LVDS" in the search bar to find these. Hopefully, that helps.
