A few things....

1) Hubbell outlets, Oyaide outlets, and likely Furutech outlets are capacity-tested to the same voltage & current maximums whether they are 15-amp rated or 20-amp rated.

2) All these outlets have the same thickness of contacts....no difference whether they be 15-amp or 20-amp rated units. The contacts are all safety-rated identically.

3) The primary difference between the outlets is their "face", which for the 20-amp unit adds the horizontal slot needed for a 20-amp wall plug, which no one uses....that, and the extra set of contacts for the horizontal prong on a 20-amp wall plug, which again no one uses.

4) If you notice, all premium power cables use a 15-amp rated wall plug, even if the power cable has a 20-amp style IEC plug....hmmmm.
