According to the datasheet it should be a "female SMC" but that's hard
to call in this case.  SMC connectors have jacks and plugs, not Jacks
and Jills because the contact and housing genders lead to confusion. 
See the top of the right column of page 3 here:

I believe they mean a jack, which should look like this:

Yours appears to have been broken off.  I don't think I have any repair
parts, though I do have some mating connectors.
