[SOLVED] What kind of a connector?

Hello, I want to test out a simple OLED display, but I have a problem: the display has a FFC/FPC type connector (something like that, I'm a beginner as far as these thing goes), here is the display: https://si.farnell.com/densitron/dd-160128fc-1a/display-oled-rgb-160x128/dp/1498857?crosssellid=1498857&crosssell=true&in_merch=true&

Obviously I need some other parts to connect it. One way is to use this board: https://si.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?sku=1500758


The question: the connection board has pins sticking out of it, what is the correct name for a single wire connector so I would be able to attach wires to the board pins (what is this kind of wire called which I could connect to the board)? I tried searching for it but since there are countless connector types I'm totaly lost.

Another question: are there any alternative connections I could use? The connections on a FPC socket that the display's connection fit in are very small, so I would obviously need a proper board to solder it on, are there any FPC cables which I could use to extend the display connector (and then I could cut that cable apart to get nice wire which I could easily plug into a protoboard - the damn connection board for the display is not cheap 8-O )

The connection board (the big pins) is called just Header pins (or DIL header), e.g. https://si.farnell.com/te-connectivity-amp/3-826656-2/header-gold-dil-32way/dp/5217854
To connect to it, there are a few ways:
1. Use a ribbon cable and an IDC Socket like this: https://si.farnell.com/3m/3385-6000...edstavitev novih izdelkov&MER=i-9b10-00001144
(you can use a vice padded with soft wood to gently squeeze the connector together. The other end you can split the ribbon cable into individual wires if you wanted to.
2. Use individual crimp sockets and a crimp housing: Crimp housing is like this : https://uk.farnell.com/molex/90142-0006/housing-2row-friction-lock-6way/dp/3291560?Ntt=90142-0006 (it can be available down to two pins, like this one: https://uk.farnell.com/molex/90123-0102/housing-polarised-2way/dp/3291327?Ntt=90123-0102 but maybe single ones are available, but I don't think Molex make the single ones).

For your second question, I think you're asking for a cable extender, and it is possible to make one (solder a socket onto a length of FFC cable) but it is
extremely difficult (the FFC cable melts sometimes) and the 0.5mm pitch is very small.

To reduce costs, if you can find a 0.5mm pitch breakout board, then you could use that, it might be cheaper. e.g. possibly something like this? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8877 and solder a FFC socket onto it.

BTW, it looks like a nice display. Hopefully you'll post results of your experiments? : )

Much thanks for the info sky Yes, I can definitely post some results once I can get it working!
