Very good video! I always wondered why I did not screw up these elastic connectors when I put something back together! Now I know it is made to be inserted quite randomly and it will work every time. Cool!

Ha, I’m currently working on a project that uses zebra connector to an LCD. Kind of a PITA to work with. I had to have a board made with the edge connectors and then squish the LCD down onto the board, aligning it correctly. It was kind of fun to reverse engineer how the LCD was arranged. It used 4 Coms. LCDs are way more complicated than LEDs.

This has always been a mystery to me how a piece of rubber could make a clock work. I never imagined it worked that way, the ones i have been working with have all been black so never noticed anything :P

I believe that Indium is considered a rare element and is therefore probably pretty expensive. Aluminum however is one of the most abundant elements in Nature, found in quantity in rocks, clay and such and is therefore, you could almost say, dirt cheap, therefore it would seem like they would want to use transparent Aluminum for this application. How to make it seems to be much of a mystery however I have heard there is a guy named Scotty who knows the secret but his whereabouts is a little hard to track down also.

I have an old Micronta (Radio Shack) multimeter. The zebra ribbon tore loose. Can you buy a new ribbon? Then , how do you connect it to the LCD display?

Those screens are interesting things to watch under microscope. When screen stop working usually its only needed to clean glass part.

Remember seeing a different kind of elastomeric connector years ago. Instead of carbon strips, it used fine gold colored wires (not sure if real gold bond wires or gold coated) otherwise it works and is used the same way.

I used to have to replace those lcd's back in my 2-way radio/pager repair days. They were a real pain. If you touched the zebra flex strip with your fingers, you might as well throw it away. The oils from your fingers can ruin them. We had to wear cotton gloves to handle them. I don't miss working on them.

My Casio DBC-611 uses one of these to connect the keypad to a module. Pretty cool

Fun, I remember seeing those a lot tell I started taking apart Ti calculators. Those use plastic loop with carbon connectors and a silicon bar that is looped over to give some pressure into the connection.

I remember when repairing lcd modules for avionics, we was many times replacing these zebras due to especially the pcb connectors has pressed a imprint in them. Lots of fiddling and clean fingers.
@buildyear86
are there any graphic monochrome lcd displays that connect with a zebra connector?

I seem to remember a video in which you talked about the non-electrical things you use, like your pens. Am I mistaken?

Where can I buy these zebra connectors ? I need to replace it on my Fluke Oscilloscope, I don't want to trash a $1000 dollar meter.
@ulti7785
Can the screen contact be cleaned with IPA?
@gf88888
are the zebra rubbers held only with pressure, or is there any heating or other glue going on ?

Are these LCD's are specific to the application, like the digit layout etc? Also when the LCD dies is it possible to replace with something else generic? I know the zebra strips do fail. It's hard finding any good information on these. Thanks for your videos again.
