Can someone tell me what connector this is?

punkrocker123 · 08-08-2004

I have attached two pictures of my Belkin f5d6020 version 2 PCMCIA card and under the belkin sticker there was this connector and it looks like it is for an external antenna can anyone tell me what kind of connector it is. I know the pictures are bad but my cam is bad too. tanks for any help.

That looks like a Hirose U-FL. Search the forum and you'll find info about why it's not a good candidate for adding an external antenna.

The Cat's Correct.. This is a U.fl Hirose connector.
Check with the boyz of at Fab-Corp, I believe they have a
pigtail for it. Also, this connector is not like the normal MMC/MMCX
connectors and is only rated for 4-5 Plug/Unplugs. The best thing
to do is to hotglue the pigtail onto the card after the cable is
connected ant not remove it..

the U.Fl's are used a lot on mini-pci cards, right?

I had to change one of those out for a lady recently, is the mating connector on the antenna quite as fragile?

I just bought a Proxim Orinoco Gold card and it has a similar antenna conector. Just slightly smaller than a MMCX I think. Is this the same? I had planned on attaching an N pigtail for good and had even though of using 4 inches of teflon coax direct from the PC board. What would be the ideal besides putting this back on eBay?

Thanks!

Is this a card with a user accessable antenna connector? If so then it is probably their standard MC connector.

Does it look like these?

Is it the A/B card you are talking about in the other thread?
