Even though the connectors might be rated at 60 amps, they will probably get you through the competition without problems. The rating on the connector is meant for long life, and the amount of time in which you actually have current flowing through them is drastically less than what they are designed for. Where I work, we are often forced to use connectors which are severly underrrated (putting 40+ amps through a 15 amp connector) and they will eventually burn up, but it takes a surprisingly long amount of time for them to burn out (maybe 100+ hours of usage). I would not worry about the connectors.
