I expected more SMA connectors to be there and they differs in diameter.
Or SMA connectors have the only ONE diameter?
Thanks

There is only one 'size' of SMA connector. There is also "RP-SMA" which
stands for "Reverse Polarity SMA" and that gets people sometimes, its the
same diameter and thread pitch so you can connect two connectors together
without any signal going through them.

SMA is a single connector standard. Any male SMA connector will fit.

Make sure, however, that you do not get RP-SMA instead of SMA, which
will screw on but not make proper electrical contact.
