I agree with "should" but not "Most likely"
I consider off-brand products not performing to spec most likely.
Try removing the switch, using a bolt to clamp your two ring terminals together (nothing between them, not even a washer).
If it doesn't get hot, fault was with the switch.
Consider construction of that switch. It holds the ring terminal between two nuts. That's a no-no according to our understanding of best practices.

Compare to Blue Sea. I can't make out the exact design, but it has a flange nut bearing on something that isn't a nut.
