If I create my own molex connection wire for a 180 brick is there a wiring gauge restriction or recommendation.    I am looking to run the brick to a TIU channel about 35 feet away.   I would like 2 gauge but am told 16 is the largest based on the molex connector.     For creation do I just solder the wire to pins and then enclose in the connector?   Which size pins do I need?

thx for your help

That's quite a distance. You could make short molex with 16 ga and then crimp/solder the heavier wire on in the middle. Make the connector lengths 6 inches or so and they would not cause much voltage drop if any.
