How to Convert AWG to MM²?
To convert from AWG to mm², use the formula with verified standard values MM² = 0.012668 × 92^((36-AWG)/39).
14 AWG equals 2.0816 mm², 12 AWG equals 3.3088 mm², and 10 AWG equals 5.2612 mm². Each decrease in AWG number approximately doubles the cross-sectional area.
Converting 1 AWG equals 42.41 mm² (standard large size).
4 AWG equals 21.15 mm² (common industrial size).
12 AWG equals 3.31 mm² (common residential size).
What is AWG and MM²?
AWG (American Wire Gauge): AWG is a standardized wire gauge system where each number represents a specific diameter. Standard sizes include 14 AWG (2.08 mm²) for household circuits, 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) for higher current applications, and 1 AWG (42.41 mm²) for industrial use.
MM² (Square Millimeters): MM² measures the wire’s cross-sectional area directly. Common sizes are 2.08 mm² (14 AWG) for general wiring, 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) for power circuits, and 21.15 mm² (4 AWG) for high-current applications.
