4D ClearCore Adaptor
Overview and Purpose
Overview and Purpose
The MicroSD Extension – 100mm is a flexible FPC-based extension cable that enables convenient relocation of the micro SD card slot away from the rear of a 4D Systems display module.
For best results, it is recommended to program the Teknic ClearCore using the Arduino IDE and use the Teknic Arduino Wrapper.

- Teknic ClearCore Arduino Wrapper is available: here.
Features and Connectivity
Features:
- Compatible with all 4D Systems display modules.
- UART connection to the Teknic ClearCore using standard CAT-style Ethernet cable.
- Standard FFC or 5-way connection to 4D Systems intelligent displays.
- Capable of being powered off the ClearCore UART port (when used with a 4.3” display and below), via an Auxiliary connection to one of the spare GPIO ports on the Teknic ClearCore, or directly to a 7–30 VDC power supply.
- On-board programmer to enable the connected 4D Display to be programmed via USB, without the need to unplug the display from this 4D ClearCore Adaptor.
- Switch to enable or disable the RESET connection from the 4D display module to the Teknic ClearCore, allowing the ClearCore to perform a hardware reset of the display if needed.
- Aluminium mounting base enables through-hole mounting of this 4D ClearCore Adaptor through 2 designated holes, using a variety of screws.
- RoHS and REACH compliant.
Included and Required Items
Included:
- 4D ClearCore Adaptor – mounted on an aluminium mounting frame.
- 3-way screw terminal connector, inserted into the 4D ClearCore Adaptor 3-way AUX connector.
Not included:
- CAT5 cable for connecting to ClearCore.
- 30-way FFC, 30-to-15-way FPC, or 5-way cable. These are included with 4D Systems display modules.
- microUSB Cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers about our display modules, embedded integration, customization capabilities, and system compatibility.
How do I choose the right display module for my project?
Start by identifying the demands of your product environment: required screen size, touch capability, operating conditions and UI complexity. Our consistent form-factor families allow you to select a module that fits your constraints today and upgrade performance later without redesigning your enclosure or PCB. Our documentation hub provides comparison tables to assist selection.
What is the difference between a smart display and a host-driven display?
Smart displays include an onboard processor that handles graphics, widgets, UI logic and drawing commands internally. This reduces load on your host MCU, simplifies code and often shortens development time dramatically. Host-driven modules require the host MCU to manage everything, which may be appropriate for minimal UIs but introduces more integration work.
Can I upgrade processors without changing my enclosure or PCB?
Yes. Our architecture is deliberately designed around footprint consistency. Most display families maintain identical mechanical and electrical footprints across multiple processor types, enabling generation-to-generation performance improvements without mechanical redesign.
Do you offer non-touch and touch options?
Yes. Many display families provide variants for non-touch, resistive-touch and capacitive-touch configurations. Capacitive-touch variants are recommended for modern, responsive UI experiences.
