Hi. Can anyone identify this very small coax connector plug? Thanks very much!

That picture is too small and blurry to be sure. Maybe it's a H.FL ?

Here's a considerably better shot!

Still quite out of focus on the connector itself, but I'd expect H.FL as well - very common in smaller radio applications like wifi and such.

This is the best shot I could get.  Looks like H.FL is the probable winner. Thanks all!

Looks like H.FL/U.FL or similar. 

These connector types are rated for 20-30 cycles but really only intended to be installed once -- such as a fixed antenna in a consumer electronics device.  They are easy to insert but easily damaged during removal.  They make an extraction tool that helps to lift the connector out without bending or breaking it.

In fact, since I'm seeing that most patch antennas seem to come with U.FL (MHF) that seems like an even higher probability. It's unclear to me what the difference is between the two (except perhaps size, of course). I'm not concerned about damaging the plug being removed, but if the female connector on the board is damaged when removing the original plug that would be depressing. I'll probably get hold of one of those patch antennas and see if U.FL is indeed correct. Thanks again!
