Can the following multicomp MC000048 connector be ok for 3 Amps, 24V?...

I though a more elaborate connector with a larger area of metal to metal connection would be needed.?

Datasheet says it's rated for 16A. That would be of course for the maximum wire size it accepts (12 gauge), which provides the greatest contact area. And I consider all ratings as optimistic anyway, I try to undershoot them by at least 25% in practice. But 3A should be no problem. I sometimes use a non-contact IR thermometer if there's any question, if you're pushing the limits you'll see some heat.

do they say it is fine for 3A at 24V?
