The spring tab that contacts the wire isn't where most of the current flow happens - instead it is the large flat (and thick!) surface that it is pressing the wire against. I will suggest that (for these connectors) the temperature rise in the wire will exceed that of the connector.

FIRSTWiki didn't seem to catch on the first time around, but maybe we can revive it with information about the new controls system? A page about each of the components, edited by people who know about them, would quickly result in a fairly comprehensive "how to" manual.
Well, at this risk of adding yet another place too many for info, I have installed MediaWiki on my server. I am currently working on adding all the necessary pages, syntax coloring, and possibly purchasing a domain name.

It is located at http://tom-tech.com/first/wiki in case anyone is interested.

Update: Should be up any minute at http://frcwiki.com
