Correct installation is usually the key. The line must be supported no
more than 12" from the connector and NEVER at any time by the connector,
even during installation. Also, line supports along all vertical and
horizontal runs is a must.

Pin retraction may depend on your coax. I use a number of N connectors and I
have not seen this occur with Belden 8267 or with the various sizes of

While N connectors do have some design and impedance advantages, some of us
that have lived in extremely cold climates... have seen the center pins pull
out of N connectors due to thermal contraction of the center conductor over
distance. A UHF or DIN connector will usually not do that.
