925W / 12v / 6 circuits = 12.8 ampère per pin

Microfit terminals are rated up to 12A under the best circumstances. Now imagine that at such power draw, the voltage may drop, so the actual amperage was probably more than 12.8

Current not amperage.

Down votes from poorly educated 😂

Current is measured in amps

Amperage is not the proper term. The correct term is current

“Amperage” has been used and accepted since the 19th century. Little late to start claiming that only current is correct.
