I thought this might be handy for those of you trying to identify the RF coax connector used on you wifi adapter.
The list isn't complete and is only a summary of the ones I could remember. If you come across any that aren't listed please drop me a note and I'll add them.

It seems the Hirose MS and ?.FL series are the most difficult to ID, mainly because in some cases the difference is only a few tenths of a millimeter.
To start with the two series can be differentiated by the fact the MS uses a female center contact on the receptacle and the ?.FL series uses a male.
Once that distinction is made its just a matter of comparing dimensions.
