Wattgate Connector Measurements

Gang, I was so disappointed with my recent Wattgate purchase that I made a whole posting about my findings. I would be curious to know who can validate, or refute my post with data of their own.

Can the Wattgate plug in all the way? Is it possible to post this thread on DIYAudio site? images/drawings are more easy to upload without require URL.

From what I can see from a clear casing Wattage, its spring clips are deeper form the surface compare to others in the market. That could be a problem if it cannot inserted into the inlet all the way.

Seems 6mm from the surface is quite common.
