If those are the connectors I think they are, they're only rated to 12 or
13A (one of the reasons I don't sell shunts >10A).

If you want to model the PCB fusing current and/or temperature rise, I find
the saturn pcb toolkit (PC download) invaluable.

For testing, I have a couple of these:

They have a few other models...
