The two dimensions are descriptive, and which is used depends on the 
commonly used measurement system in the countries involved. The 
dimensions of these connectors are defined by IEC standard. That said, a 
disgustingly large percentage of connectors sold in the marketplace are 
quite careless about that standard, so it's easy to get out of tolerance 
junk.
