Any connector with a captured (non-solder) center pin will accomplish
this, such as the Times EZ series (EZ-400-NM, etc) or many of the
corrugated hardline connectors. As long as the connector was not
installed in cold weather with the center conductor pushed in as far as
it will go. If the cable is prepped according to the instructions, that
won't happen.

Even if the copper center conductor expands, the way the cable connectors
are made allows the copper to simply push in the connector past the connection

Very astute. You may have explained this paradox.
I didn't think of this type F effect. Some type N connectors also work this
way.
