Number rating on ring terminal... amp rating?

[ckunke002 10+ year member]

When I installed my system i bought a simple 4 gauge wiring kit, and used that to wire up my ~700w system. I understand that quality 4 gauge should carry over 100a no problem, but was confused to find the number 25 on my ring terminals, printed the same way that the amp rating on the fuses is printed. After searching I still couldn't find anybody clearing this up. Just curious what the number indicates. Thanks for any input!

Could be a part number or some other number the manufacturer uses to group the connectors but, it's not an ampacity.

yep, probably something from the factory for ring size. not important.
