Any good connector spec diagram should have this.  I am looking in my
Radiall catalog right now.  Let me see.

The tip of the pin on the male should be a minimum of 0.021" below the outer
edge of the connector and a maximum of 0.196" below.

The female tip should be a minimum of 0.1493" below the edge and maximum of
0.175". 

IMHO, Pasternack's stuff is crap.  I've never been impressed by their work.
I recommend Cable Experts to people.  Cheaper price and better quality.
