- Help with 802.11g laptop mod -- need micro coax-like connectors
- Posted by Jeffrey J. Kosowsky on June 27th, 2003
Just took apart a Linksys WMP-54g and successfully removed the
mini-pci 802.11g card.
I want to put this card in my Toshiba Satellite laptop which had an
embedded antenna.
Problem is that the mini-pci card is missing the coax connectors to
connect to the 2 internal Toshiba wires.
Anybody know where I can get these small connectors so that I can
solder them to the mini-pci circuit board?
Also what is the name of this type of connector?
What gender is needed on the board? (they are so small that it is hard
to tell which end is which

I really need to get these connectors but I don't know what their
actual name is which obviously makes it hard to find on the
Internet...
Alternatively, I could desolder them from an old broken 802.11b
mini-pci card if anyone has one to spare or sell for *very* cheap.
So any suggestions on where I can get either the micro-coax-like
connectors themselves or an old mini-pci wireless board to mine for
connectors?

I can supply these connectors.
£6.00 GBP for the pair (includes postage to anywhere in the world!)
