Martin Hi!

Yes.

No. I placed 18 swg into each pin and then about 3" back from MOLEX ran them
into a bunch, added a connecting wire and took them back to Power and Ground
as required for each. Each Pin only has a single wire. The join is made
externally by whatever you feel suitable. Mine were soldered and then
protected by suitable shrink wrap.
It works fine.
The best laugh was that after I wired it I fitted the Molex UPSIDE DOWN, got
no power, received help from a Radio Ham friend who couldn't spot the
problem and eventually sent it back to Icom where there was no fault
found..... Really!!! Panel wiring has it's moments.
Hope that helps.
