There will be a drawing for individual parts.
It will depend on pin count/ pin dia.
Lower pin count is ~ 2.5mmOD/1.5mmID
Higher pin count ~ 1.5mmOD/ 0.65mmID

Yikes, 1 amp per pin!
We used XLRs on the outputs of our NMR pulsed-field gradient coil drivers, up to 20 amp pulses. They worked great.

the Neutrik style XLRs are really nice and sturdy connectors
there's also Speakon, up to 8connetions and rated ~30A cont
Cups are intended to be wire diameter tollerant - for stranded wire.
I 'measure' the ID using solid wire samples.

Be aware that if you're looking for a replacement for an existing part, you may need more care in part selection.
There are many near-substiturtes that will not fit or function. An example will be the amateur radio Foster connector, which has an older style boss and thicker actual pin dia.
