Wire connectors

A few days ago, from Cyberweld, I ordered two Miller wire connectors. I ordered 1/0 - 2/0. I got them. On the package, the number is the same as their site. But, in the connectors themselves, they say 3/0 - 4/0. So, my question. Do all the connectors say that or did Miller package them wrong? I just don't know why it would not have a 1/0 - 2/0 on it.

It appears that I misunderstood the cable sizes. I have learned something new.

Do your 1/0 & 2/0 cables fit? Since these cables are larger than the 3/0 & 4/0 gauge cables.

I have no idea if the number are the same or not, but I think I would check with Cyberweld on the numbers. I have purchased from them in the past and they seem to be very good at customer service. If there is a mistake, they will want to take care of it for you.
Sure, 4AWG is smaller then 1AWG , but of 1/0 through 4/0, 1/0 is the smallest.
The progression is 4, 2, 1, 0, 00, 000, and 0000
Your 1-2/0 cable will fit the 3-4/0 connector.
