What is that wire for?
Current figures are rough guidance only. Real ratings depend on insulation, bundling, ambient temperature and local wiring rules.
The math
How to convert AWG to mm
AWG is a geometric series: diameter (mm) = 0.127 × 92^((36 − AWG) ÷ 39), and the area follows from the diameter.
Example: 12 AWG = 2.05253 mm.
