Most connectors and relays have a much *lower* rating at DC than AC.


Relays and switches - yes, due to the arc which can happen when they
break.
But I've not seen a connector that gives different ratings for each.

Look at RS 234-685 the standard plated NATO connector.
380VAC but 200VDC according to the German maker's catalogue
spec.
