MacBook A1990 26 Pin Connector

[Strolch]

Hello, can anyone tell me where I can get this 26-pin FPC connector? What is the connector for?So that one's also for the Touch Bar. I thought only the FPC at the top was for the Touch Bar. But where can I get it? I can't find the connector online. I only found the 22nd pin. Thank you.

The Touchbars (aka DFR) consist of 2 components, the CTP (capacitance touch panel) and the MIPI DSI interface.

As expected, each is a custom part made for Apple. Of course available in Asia with a few creative search keywords.

The part # for the 26 pin connector is DF40SG(1.5)-26DS-0.4V = J5110. Best to request the 'J5110 connector for A1990' when chatting with suppliers in Asia.

For the touch component, it is AA07-S022VA1 = J5100.

Hi mon2, I bought the 22 pin from Ali but I can't find the 26 pin FPC.

We will be in Asia in October and determined to find a lower cost option for these parts. Confident they exist.

It's very cheap here. I can't just manage Chinese

We did manage to setup an account with Taobao. Was not simple to do but succeeded after following a few YT videos.

From the published price, the connector is ~$1 USD which is fair for low qty purchases.

The trick to Taobao app is to select Singapore as the country to deliver and then the app will be all English. Find and fill you cart and before checking out, switch to Chinese again but with your real address for shipping. We did this earlier this year on some development tools which are only available on this portal.

And then they send it to Germany?

[mon2]

Yes. You still register the app with your true delivery address but to view in English you must temp switch to Singapore. They are testing the same app in English but only if you select Singapore. Watch the above video on the full process. Then you add to your cart in English and then before paying, switch back to your home country and the shipping fee will be for your true delivery address. Very similar to Aliexpress.

What about this listing on Ali?

Failing that, steal it off a donor board. Should be plenty of dead A1990/A2141 boards floating around with dead SSD's
