I just checked with Perry (
pereichi), who has crimped many (possibly most) of our connections the past three years. He agrees that this is an issue, but the solution is simple - provide very little twist to the strands of the 12AWG wires, and all of the strands will fit in the 30A connector. He also agrees that once you do a severe twist, your only good solution is to bump up to the 45A connector.
