That doesn't make any sense-- the actual contact portion of the Power
Pole lug is the same on the 15, 30 & 45 amp versions. The only
substantive difference is the size of wire that can crimped in. A 15
amp lug can carry 45 amps if you can attach a suitable wire to it.
Obviously, it's best to use the correct lug for your wire size, but you
don't need to worry about the current carrying capability of the lug itself.
If you see differences in the contact portion of the lug in either the
width, length or thickness of the contact area, is there a chance you
got a Chinese knockoff?

I have been thinking on this for the last week as I am also going to change
out stuff to all Power Poles.
What I see as a possible problem is on the Rig Runner are the Power Poles
45Amp or are they the thinner 30 or even 15 amp connectors?
Looking at my BIG Rig Runner 8012 ALL the contacts look a lot thinner metal
then are my 45 Amp contacts I have.
I just pulled my RIG Runner apart and pulled a connector off and it looks
like they are JUST 30 AMP. Contacts.
SO for MYSELF I will NOT be using just one 45AMP Power pole but Rather two
30's instead on the Radio End unless I get a bug and try to modify my Rig
Runner and replace the smaller Amperage contacts with a KNOWN value contact.
