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).

I think youall are mixing coax power connectors that are used on many
wall cubes to power the electronic devices and the coax connectors like
used on the antenna cable called coax, such as RG-8, RG-6.

The mating areas of the coax power connector are not crimped or any
other thing to change the mating dementions.
