Not sure what you mean by this.

I used 4mm male connectors and 4mm female tubes and measured the IR of the cell through the connector. I did the same with the 5mm connectors. The fit of both connectors are nice and tight.

I must admit I would of expected the 5mm to be equal or possibly better but it isn't and this is why I never pursued 5mm inboard packs. Also my 4mm adapter has been used a good amount and normally this increases the resistance. The 5mm adapter uses brand new 5mm connectors.
