Plug and Jack OD/ID clearance dimensions

For coaxial power connectors, it is very hard to locate dimension details for mating plugs and jacks (male and female) connectors, to find out typical clearances on the OD and ID mating surfaces.

Vendors of EIAJ RC-5320A types 1-3 connectors make the jack pins 0.05mm smaller than the nominal ID, and the jack holes are 0.4 mm larger than the nominal OD. See http://www.westside-supplies.co.uk/pdf/cats/PowerJacks.pdf

But that may not be the end of the story. That vendor seems to make their plugs to the nominal OD/ID dimensions. But another vendor makes the plug holes 0.05mm larger and the plug OD also 0.05mm larger than the nominal OD/ID dimensions! Resulting in a full 0.1mm clearance on the ID.
