Wattgate Connector Measurements

Although the pin is 12mm length, I think the clip 6mm from the surface is a little too much, 2-3mm is more reasonable, IMO.🤔

Which is what connex does and as a result there's 9mm of conductor overlap.  With Wattgate there's 3.3mm of conductor overlap.

I think I'm wrong about that!

Seems 6mm from the surface is quite common.

Thanks for the detailed drawings, @imhififan  Then I just chalk it up to the clamping mechanism being unforgiving, but if it wasn't for that, they should be getting 6 mm of travel into the connector and it should measure the same 5mm or so of 0R contact.  I will say I like the rounded belly of the Connex prongs more than the sharp angle in these examples and the Wattgate.
