Perhaps you are looking at the N connector lead, the actual pin where RF
flows is Ø.120 which is not much smaller than a UHF connector (Ø.156). I
use a number of N connectors at my station and have no issues.

I worked in the commercial/industrial radio and broadcasting for 40 plus

that hams deal with high power and high SWR sometimes, both are not
type-N strong points because of the small pin used in type-N can not
handle the high current caused by SWR and high power as well as the
thicker pin used in a PL259.
