How to convert AWG to mm

Wire diameter calculation
The n gauge wire diameter dn in millimeters (mm) is equal to 0.127mm times 92 raised to the power
of 36 minus gauge number n, divided by 39:
(36-n)/39
n (mm)

= 0.127 mm 92

0.127mm is the diameter of gauge #36.

Wire cross sectional area calculation

The n gauge wire's cross sercional area An in square millimeters (mm2) is equal to pi divided by 4
times the square wire diameter d in millimeters (mm):
2
2
(36-n)/19.5
n (mm2)
n

= (/4)d = 0.012668 mm 92
