So... Why aren't my Deans plugs melting?

[ED66677]

when you pull 120A is it constant?
I bet they are rated at 60A with some safety, I use them on my 29"mono/8XL/4S and they do get warm but that's it, I'm pulling 70 to 80A constant, 100A burst!

... Or even getting hot for that matter?

They are only rated at 60a and I regularly pull 120a through a single connector on 12ga wire.

I have a ton of them and they seem to work just fine over 100a. This goes for the cheap knock offs too. They don't get hot, melt or otherwise either.

I'm planing on going to 5mm bullets for my high current systems, but just curious as to why a 60a rated plug is handling double current without any signs of failure.

Double E's any info?
