About AWG to MM Calculator
The AWG to MM Calculator allows you to convert American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes to metric measurements in millimeters. This tool is useful for electrical work, electronics projects, and any application where you need to convert between these wire sizing standards.
What is AWG?
American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a standardized wire gauge system used predominantly in North America for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. The higher the gauge number, the smaller the diameter and the thinner the wire.
Conversion Method:
AWG sizes are based on a logarithmic scale. The relationship between AWG (n) and diameter (d) in millimeters is:
d(mm) = 0.127 × 92(36-n)/39
Where n is the AWG size and d is the diameter in millimeters. The cross-sectional area in square millimeters is calculated using the formula: Area = π × (d/2)².
Common Uses:
- Electrical wiring and installation
- Electronics and circuit design
- International projects requiring metric measurements
- Comparing wire sizes between different standards
- Calculating wire properties for electrical load capacity
