How to convert AWG to mm

When you want to calculate AWG from diameter or cross sectional area, the values are generally  rounded of to the nearest AWG equivalents.

Wire diameter calculation

The n gauge wire diameter d_n in millimeters (mm) is equivalent to:

0.127mm is the diameter of gauge #36.

Wire cross sectional area calculation

The n gauge wire's cross sectional area A_n in square millimeters (mm²) is given by the formula:
