Question:
Is it possible for a connector to produce more heat as a result of power
dissipation at a voltage lower than it's rating?

So say you have a power connector good for 10 A, and 60V.

Will I get more heat off the connector if I run say 10A and 12V through it?

I could see a small possibility if you model the connector with reactive
components, but to me, the obvious answer is no.

If you say yes, please give a good explanation.

I'm speaking of DC only, not AC.
