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
Heliax at my station.

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.
