    The factories went to everything - one-big-piece, multi-layer PCB. Imma going to suggest old-school luxury trouble-shooting and cable yanking, excess cable in hub, crimp no-splice no-SMT, no bread board. Inline "PCB" and flexible, is old harddisk 40pin or 80pin cable select. Nowadays they hype serial-comms signalling and flexible-PCB and organic-LED and ... Nevermind.

    One piece mobile phone board need separate piece for outside connector to avoid transferring lever-effect torque and break main board. Things were more sensible in the past. Separate lever-effect. Nowadays they bread-board to break-board. Flex cable in-between big small PCB was genius.

    Thanks for the tutorial. One question, I need to connect my motherboard to a programmer, the mobo has 9 pins while the programmer has 8 pin. Do I need a custom cable? or a 10 pin idc would work?

    I often connect mismatched headers with ribbon cable ( 25 pin DB to 26 pin IDC for example), ignoring the unused pins. As long as the number one pins align, not all pins of a connector have to be used/wired. Just double check your pinout on each header. The ribbon cable can be pulled apart at the ends if you need to change the pin order as well. 👍

    For ribbon cable, the red conductor is pin-1/conductor-1. Positive and negative pinout will depend on your board and project. Make sure to follow the manual and data sheet for your specific hardware.
