AWG Wire Gauge

Converts an AWG wire size to diameter and cross-section.

How to use the result

Geometric progression with 0.005 in at AWG 36 and a diameter ratio of 92 over 39 steps. The output is a calculated nominal value without standards-table rounding.

Does not verify current-carrying capacity, insulation, manufacturing tolerance, or stranded-wire outside diameter.

Formulas

d [in] = 0,005 · 92^((36−AWG)/39)
