Simply plug the socket side into the Raspberry Pi. Then, keeping an eye where Pin 1 is, insert your FPC ribbon cable into the 40-pin flex connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can use any 40-pin 0.5mm FPC with 'A-B' connections. If you want to extend the FPC, a 40-pin extender can be snapped on. Finally, you can use a matching adapter board to tack on your HAT or bonnet of choice on the other end\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote that some HATs, like the Sense HAT or Bonnets with a slim connector on the bottom will need\/benefit from adding a socket 'riser' \/ 'lifter' to the HAT to give the cable more connector body to grip onto.
