For European people, AWG sizes can be very confusing, so here’s a handy conversion table<\/h2>\n

First thing you should know about AWG is that the indications appear inversed compared to mm2: the larger the AWG number, the smaller the size is in mm2.<\/p>\n

mm values are referred to in two ways. There’s milimeters in diameter but more commonly the size is referred to as mm2, which means square meter. This is the total cross section area, and the size used for the conversion table below.<\/p>\n

AWG 01 = 42,4 mm2
\nAWG 02 = 33,6 mm2
\nAWG 03 = 26,7 mm2
\nAWG 04 = 21,2 mm2
\nAWG 05 = 16,8 mm2
\nAWG 06 = 13,3 mm2
\nAWG 07 = 10,6 mm2
\nAWG 08 = 8,35 mm2
\nAWG 09 = 6,62 mm2
\nAWG 10 = 5,27 mm2
\nAWG 11 = 4,15 mm2
\nAWG 12 = 3,31 mm2
\nAWG 13 = 2,63 mm2
\nAWG 14 = 2,08 mm2
\nAWG 15 = 1,65 mm2
\nAWG 16 = 1,31 mm2
\nAWG 17 = 1,04 mm2
\nAWG 18 = 0,82 mm2
\nAWG 19 = 0,65 mm2
\nAWG 20 = 0,51 mm2
\nAWG 21 = 0,41 mm2
\nAWG 22 = 0,32 mm2
\nAWG 23 = 0,25 mm2
\nAWG 24 = 0,20 mm2
\nAWG 25 = 0,16 mm2
\nAWG 26 = 0,12 mm2
\nAWG 27 = 0,10 mm2
\nAWG 28 = 0,08 mm2
\nAWG 29 = 0,06 mm2
\nAWG 30 = 0,05 mm2<\/p>\n
