Product Information

Commonly, when you refer to the size of a conductor, you talk about its cross-sectional area, which is expressed in mm2. To calculate the cross-section of solid round wires, you can use this formula: What is AWG? The AWG standard was created by the Brown & Sharpe Company, a leading manufacturer of machinist technology in the late 1800s & early 1900s. The AWG standard was officially adopted & implemented as industry-standard sizing in 1857. Unfortunately, AWG does not fit comfortably in rounded mm or inches, so there will always need to be a small amount of rounding up or down depending on your need or purpose. If you want the technical formulae for converting between the two, it is as follows; Diameter Notes:A mil is a unit of length equal to 0.001 inch (a “milli-inch” or a “thousandth of one inch”) ie. 1 mil = 0.001″.

As aluminum is not as good as copper in its conductivity, we consider aluminum as two gauges larger than copper when we compare the conductivity of both. AWG to Maximum frequency for 100% skin depth chart AWG sizes do not fit perfectly into mm or inches, so you may need to round up or down when safe to do so. The higher the number - the thinner the wire. Typical household wiring is AWG number 12 or 14. Telephone wire is typical AWG 22, 24, or 26. AWG Notes: American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a standardized wire gauge system used predominantly in the United States to note the diameter of electrically conducting wire. The general rule of thumb is for every 6 gauge decrease the wire diameter doubles and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the cross sectional area. The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor. Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the same current-carrying capacity and electrical resistance as a solid wire, always have a slightly larger overall diameter.Wire Gauges run low to high - this means that the smaller a gauge number, the larger it is in mm. Conversely, a large number in AWG equates to a very small number of mm. The Engineering ToolBox (2004). AWG - American Wire Gauge Converting Chart.

Calculate the number of small circles that fits into an outer larger circle - ex. how many pipes or wires fits into a larger pipe or conduit. Based on the AWG system, a smaller gauge or larger diameter wire conducts more electricity than a wire with a larger gauge or smaller diameter. As you decrease the AWG size of the wire by six, its cross-sectional area and the electric current amount increase doubles when AWG reduces by three. When you change the AWG size by ten, the cross-sectional area also changes tenfold.Somehow we don't see ourselves nonchalantly calculating this in our heads every time we speak with an American customer, so we've made up a conversion table which we'd like to share for your convenience. AWG #

In this system, 0000 AWG indicates a wire diameter of 0.46 inches, and 36 AWG indicates a wire size of 0.005 inches. There are 39-gauge sizes between these two sizes which you can get through logarithmic calculations. The ratio of different sizes is 1 to 92 in diameter. So, you can say that each AWG step is around the 39th root of 92, which is approx. 1.12293 times changes in diameter.For gauge numbers 00,000, and 0000, you can use -1, -2, and -3 as gauges as they make more sense mathematically.
