Take a close look at the marking on the connecter, all will be revealed. The reality is that the 50 amp connector, when not abused, can handle the current of a normal robot for a two minute match without self destructing. Any abuse (scratching the surface of the contact, misalignement, etc.) or inefficient robot design will heat the connector. The 50 amp rating is
continuous current draw as is the 120 amp rating on the circuit breaker.
