Pine H64 antenna connector - auxym - 10-25-2021

Hi,

I'd like to replace the antenna on the H64 with an RP-SMA pigtail for a larger antenna. Unfortunately I can't identify the SMD antenna connector. The schematic on the wiki page only refers to J21/ANT1 and there doesn't seem to be a BOM with a P/N.

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5624&page=9 This thread refers to "uFL", but I bought a uFL pigtail and the pine's connector is definitely larger.

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7569 According to this thread it's MHF4, but again MHF4 appears to be smaller than what I have. In this drawing (https://www.i-pex.com/sites/default/files/downloads/pdf/2D_MHF_4_RECEPTACLE_20449C15.pdf) MHF4 receptables appear to have 1.5 mm mating diameter, the receptable on my H64 measures to 2.1 mm dia with calipers.

Anyone have an idea?

Didn't get an answer, so I went ahead and bought a cable with a MHF1 connector. It seems to work fine. Hope this is helpful to others, I'll also add the info to the wiki.

The connector is U.FL type, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirose_U.FL
