AWG to mm² Calculator

The AWG to mm² Calculator determines the cross-sectional area in square millimeters (mm²) from the American Wire Gauge (AWG) value or vice versa.

The AWG to mm² Calculator is a helpful tool for converting wire sizes between the American Wire Gauge system and the metric system. This conversion is crucial for selecting appropriate wire sizes in electrical and engineering projects.

The tool simplifies the calculation, making it easier to determine wire sizes for different systems and ensuring accurate and safe applications.

Formula

To Calculate mm² from AWG:

\text{mm²} = 0.0005067 \times 92^{\left(\frac{36 – \text{AWG}}{39}\right)}

To Calculate AWG from mm²:

\text{AWG} = 36 – \left(\frac{39 \times \ln\left(\frac{\text{mm²}}{0.0005067}\right)}{\ln(92)}\right)

Variable	Description
AWG	American Wire Gauge value (size of the wire).
mm²	Cross-sectional area of the wire in square mm.
