The UHF connector has a larger diameter center pin (0.156") than the N (0.1197"), so its current handling capability is (slightly) higher. 

Actually, the current handling interface of the N connector is a BNC pin, which is much smaller
than the UHF connector.  In fact, an N male connector will plug perfectly into a BNC female
tee connector - done many times in a lab setting.

How do you feel about high power in BNC connectors?  8^)
