Hi, Troy --

I'd bet any such garden variety/with solder tabs in size you likely
have can handle a few, like under 5A.  So most anything in the panel
it feeds is OK.  You can parallel two pins, but only if the load might
be toward limit for one, like a strobe.  Parallel pin is only for
insurance.  If you have a 100W landing lite, any connector for that
will really look like it can handle it.  For the main bus and ground,
I think any such connector is poor practice.  On mine, they're just
3/16" bolts for ring connector/stud arrangement.  Watch where any
necessary service slack might chafe the wire or strain the connection,
when panel is homed, or maybe bring 'em in to connect to the bottom of
panel out of sight.

Digi-key.com has an online .pdf catalog with ratings and pix for
comparing some similar-looking items, if not the actual part.

Best,
Fred F.
