I use Amphenol 82-202-1006 connectors for both 9913 (solid center conductor) 
and 9913F (stranded center conductor). The center pin is made for this cable.

One other trick, when cutting the stranded version center conductor, I use 
sharp wire strippers adjusted to do a full cut. The type I use cuts 360 
degrees at once so it doesn't deform the shape of the center conductor and 
makes getting the pin installed a snap. Hope this helps.
