I found an adapter in my junk box that goes from a BNC to something

to a male N type. It will not mate up to a female N connector.

A normal N male connector has the center that is just about even with the
shell that screws onto the female end. This connector has the male part
sticking out about 1/4 of an inch past the shell. It will fit the female N
connector except when I go to screw them together, there is not enough
threads to mate and make a good mechanical connection.

Anyone know what type of connector this is ?

Two suggestions come to mind. First, have you tried Pasternack's
connector identifier PDF (www.pasternack.com/pdf/catalog/
ConnectorIdentifier.pdf) or equivalent? Second, could it be a damaged
BNC-to-N? It seems strange to have the pin sticking out that far; it
would be inviting damage to the pin.

I have not seen that url. I did not see one like it there.

It could be dammaged. It is not just the center pin that is sticking out
past the threaded shell, but the whole inside part of what would be a normal
N connector. It will pass power, just the threads will not screw together.
