Use the calculator below to convert wire size in AWG to sq.mm, mm, inch and kcmil.
You can also use the formulas below to convert AWG wire size to sq.mm, mm, inch and kcmil.
Formula: Convert AWG wire size to inches
To convert an AWG size to inches for AWG sizes 0 to 36, use the formula:
- AWG no= 0.005 inch x 92(36-n)/39 where n in the AWG no.
For example, using the formula:
AWG 5 = 0.005 x 92(36-5)/39=0.005 x 92 (31)/39 =0.005*36.38811=0.181941 inches.
Formula: Convert AWG wire size to mm
While to convert an AWG size to mm for AWG sizes 0 to 36, use the formula:
- AWG no= 0.127 x 92(36-n)/39 where n in the AWG no.
So, to find the equivalent wire size in mm for AWG no. 5
=0.127 x 92(36-5)/39= =0.127 x 36.38811 =4.621 mm
