gps antenna and gps board connection: both of them have male port(pin)

Dear Support:

I bought the antenna(ublox ANN-MB-00-00), whose port is male (with pin). The port of gps board(ZED-F9P-01B-01) is still male(with pin).

I wonder how I can could connect them together. Thanks.

Michael

Hi Michael.

If you bough [SparkFun’s ZED-F9P it should have a connector that mates with your antenna. If you have someone else’s ZED-F9P and it has a center pin on it’s connector you’re going to need an adapter that has the appropriate connectors.

Where did you get the GPS and can you send photos showing the connector?](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/16481)

I have the exact same issue. my board came with a PR-SMA connector, not a SMA connector! The spec sheet says SMA, and the UBLOX antenna also expects a SMA (even the name of the board has SMA in it!). I believe that some parts may have gotten mixed up during the assembly of this board.

A photo of my board with the wrong connector on it is attached.

If you purchased the board directly off our website, just [fill in the form on this page with your order number and the URL to this forum post and we can replace it for you.

If you purchased from a distributor or Amazon you will need to let them know you have a defective product and arrange with them for an exchange.](Return Policy - SparkFun Electronics)

My distributer is out of this board.

If anyone else ends up in this situation, I believe the correct connector that you can solder on yourself is:

or you can use this adapter:

I hope that helps.
