The problem is that even if you get the size right, you could get the ratings wrong, since they are not internationally standardised. From Wikipedia: Contact ratings vary from unspecified (and probably less than 1 A in practice) up to 5 A ,with 2 A typical. Voltage is again often unspecified, up to 48 V with 12 V typical.
