I need to connect SMA male to coax male, so I bought this:


The SMA male to female connection works, but the coax doesn't into the other connector. The opening isn't wide enough for the coax connector to fit in. Can somebody please link me to what fits?

Also, I need something to get this same coax end to connect to the back of a BNC antenna.

Here is a picture of the coax connector:

That's a 75-ohm F connector used for cable TV, not a 50-ohm SMA connector. They aren't interchangeable.

I'm confused about what you are looking for.
Not sure what you mean by "coax male"?
What you ordered was a Male SMA to Female N cable.

I think some photos would help a whole lot.

That is a Male F connector. You'll need a female F connector to what ever gender fits the base of the BNC antenna.

Also, you probably don't have a N connector, most likely have a PL-259. The PL-259 has a larger center pin than a N connector, and if you try to force it in, you will damage the N.
