The Adafruit Multi-pitch Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Adaptor is another one of those boards you just have to have in your toolbox. FPCs can be difficult to work with at the best of times, doubly so if you've just ripped them out of some defunct gadget. This PCB has solder pads for 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 1.0mm pitch connections; just lay the FPC on each set of pads in turn to find the perfect pitch, then solder in place. The board will accommodate up to 40-pins on each FPC though you could use multiple smaller FPCs with care.
All the rows solder pads are connected to the other rows in sequence and then connected to 1 x 20 solder pads on either side of the board and a 2 x 20 solder pads at one end. All the solder pads are on a breadboard friendly 0.1in. pitch and have their pin numbers clearly silk-screened.
