I know about the existence of connectors for RG0400-like coax
cables, but are there similar connectors for small diameter wires
like 18AWG shielded Tefzel wires? I hate the resulting "lump" in the
wire when I try to connect shield and core wires using butt-splice
connectors, and the shrink-wrap never seems to contract nicely
around the wires afterwards.

Are you talking about coax connectors? Yes,
virtually every series of connector is available
tailored to a particular coax. The problem is
having tools for crimped connectors.
I've never found it useful to expand the line
of tools for a situation that turns up once every
couple of years. Consider this work-around I published
for another 'coax down sizing' issue some years ago.

In years past, I've also 'jeeped' a standard UG88
BNC connector onto a smaller diameter coax and then
potted the wire into the back of the connector with
epoxy.
If you had a hundred of these joints to make, yeah,
go buy the tools and right connectors. If you've got
a couple . . . there are practical work-arounds.
