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.

While it it true that type-n is mostly used, we must remember 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. 73, Bruce, W8HW _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
