(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).

You're thinking of RF coaxial connectors.
Aside from the fact the don't change at the mating side of the
connector.

Almost coaxial power connectors have solder terminals on the wire side
and they don't change shape either at the connection/interface side.

The center terminal may drift in position if you overheat the connect
during assembly/soldering.
