The Molex MiniFit range of connectors are very good with good isolation
between circuits, IIRC they go up to 8A.

As for track width, when I did my last design for an automotive application,
I used 1.5mm track width, and included a protection crowbar circuit as well
as transorb diodes to protect against transients and load dumps - the amount
of protection really depends on how clean you perceive your supply to be.
