How to Fix Broken Antenna base in GPS Module

Post by leespinosah »

I tried connecting the SMA to U.FL adapter cable to the little antenna connector at the base of the shield. The connector at the base broke completely. How can I repair or weld a new connector to the base? What should I do? Would the GPS Module work without it?

Hi, I have a similar question. I bought the SMA to uFL/u.FL/IPX/IPEX RF Adapter Cable (product 851) and was wondering if the cable could be soldered to the board in stead of being plugged in. This because the cable does not keep fixed when attaching/deattaching the external antenna onto it.
Thanks.
