There actually are pins for DB connectors that accept both AWG18 and AWG16 wire. They are provided by a certain well known avionics mfgr with certain units....and most shops have piles of them around because we don't end up using many of them. They are long suckers, but they will hold those fat wires. Takes a different crimper (or solder) as well.
There are also DSub connectors made out of various materials and specs to handle various current loads. You can actually get some pretty exotic ones that handle piles of current, other ones with wild shielding, pin sizes, bi-metal, etc..
Any, I'd probably want to know more about the actual widget before I made my choice for sure.....
Cheers,
Stein
