| [title] Coaxial Connectors | |
| [* icon_note] Coaxial connectors like these—also called antenna, U.FL, or IPEX connectors—have a metal head that snaps over a circular socket on the board. These connectors come in varying sizes and are often used to connect antenna cables. | |
| [* black] To disconnect the cable, slide a thin, ESD-safe pry tool or angled tweezers under the metal neck of the connector and lift straight up from the board. | |
| [* icon_reminder] Reconnecting these can be tricky. Use tweezers to hold the connector in place over its socket and gently press down with a spudger—the connector should "snap" into place. If you're having trouble, reposition the head and try again. | |
| [* icon_caution] Don't try to force the connector into place or you may damage it. | |
| + | [* icon_note] If you work with these connectors often, you may want to buy a disconnect tool ([product|IF145-558|small size|new_window=true], [product|IF145-557|large size|new_window=true]). |
