Similar experience here: threading defect.
Amphenol is an offshore product. Need I say more? Only this-- make sure
to test the threading & fit of the plugs on your equipment sockets
*before* soldering them to cables.

Except that several REAL Amphenol UHF connectors I ordered, which
arrived in sealed plastic bags, had no threads on the inside of the
coupling rings. The remainder of the connectors in the shipment were
just fine.

That is exactly why I consider UHF connectors to be a poor design.
There's nothing wrong with REAL UHF connectors, like Amphenol
83-1SP, and surplus adapters stamped with MIL spec numbers. It's
the cheap junk connectors that cause the problems. My definition
of a junk connector (in North America) is one that doesn't carry
an Amphenol part number or MIL-spec number.
