The highest rated ones I could find were these: http://www.amphenol.com.au/Amphenol_Metal_EP.html You might also be interested in these: http://www.neutrik.com/fl/en/industry/204_2044822873/PowerCon%C2%AE_32_Amp_productlist.aspx

I think they're rated for something like 5 or7 amps, but I know people who have used them for up to 15 amps without problems.
