Default Do they sell a gauge to measure Coaxial Power Connectors?

AKA "barrel connectors".

I can get close using a ruler on the outer part of the plug, but those
pins inside are near impossible to measure.

There are so many variations of them too.

Someone must have some sort of gauge to measure them....



I don't know how you'd measure after it went through a crimp-tool.



** Huh ??


When you hook a coax connector to coax cable, you crimp it with a crimping device so it won't fall off of the coax cable.
(at least I did)

As with every connector, if you crimp it at one end, its inevitably going to change measurement at the other end (though probably not significantly).
