Wire is not true AWG sized and are way undersized for their expected amperage. Wire rating serve a vital purpose to prevent fires associated with amps burning up the wire. Probably 95% of the wire sold on the internet today is actually 3 or 4 gauges below what they are advertised.
In these clips mine were more like 22 gauge wire with the rest being plastic sheathing. No way it could safely carry 10 amps. 7 amps the wire was getting very hot and the plastic was getting very soft.
This stuff is dangerous and Amazon should start puling listings for any electrical wire that does not meet or conform to AWG or UL guidelines.
