I don't know about the pin diameter, but 50-ohm BNC plugs have a plastic

50-ohm plug will even fit a 75-ohm socket.

N connectors suffer a fatal flaw - use the wrong plug in the wrong
socket, and you are screwed. Mixing 50 and 75 Ohm Ns will either
result in a crummy connection or a possibly ruined part.
I asusme this is due to a different diameter central pin -- small pin in
large socket causes a bad connection, large pin in small socket wrecks th
socket.
