How to calculate the AWG value ?

binspaul · 19th February 2010, 08:55 AM

Hello,

Can some one help me in finding out the correct AWG value of a solid core copper wire that I am having from the following parameters ?

1. Conductor Area CSA: 0.21mm²
2. Conductor Make-up: 40 / 0.1mm
3. Conductor Material: Oxygen Free Copper

Best regards,
Bins.

40/0.1mm diam is 0.31sqmm.
This is equivalent area to 0.63mm diam.

0.21sqmm is equivalent to 0.52mm diam.

Hello Andrew,

Is that around 24 AWG ?

Best regards,
Bins.

Now that you have downloaded the AWG from wikip, you can see that your 40/0.1 is ~22gauge and that 0.21sqmm (30/0.1) is ~24gauge.
