Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help here. I recently bought a new mini pcie wireless card (the original card was intel 6230, now replacing with an azureWave AW-CB160H BCM94360HMB 802.11abgn/11ac and noticed the wifi connector doesn't fit the antennas. Since this is loaded in a desktop with an adapter, I an thinking of getting a new mini pcie to pci adapter, but I need to know what type of connector is used so I don't get the wrong one. I noticed on my 2013 macbook pro retina the same size of connector, so it must be some type of standard. I've replaced many wireless nics before, this is the first time I've ran into this sort of issue.

Please help!
 
MicroSMA is the connector type - getting much more common these days in laptops as Computer OEM's want the flexibility to offer different drop-in cards for customer orders.
