What diameter is AWG wire?
AWG or American Wire Gauge is the US standard measure for the diameter of electrical conductors. The American Wire Gauge chart is based on the number of dies originally required to draw the copper down to the required dimensional size. It means the higher the AWG number is, the smaller the wire diameter is.
How do you measure the diameter of a wire?
Measure the diameter with calipers. Place an electrical wire between the jaws of a set of Vernier calipers. Slide the movable jaw around the cable without compressing the insulation and read the measurement where the line from the moving indicator meets the stationary scale for a diameter.
How many amps can 24 AWG wire handle?
At an ambient temperature of 30°C, 24AWG has a maximum current of 7A. So 2A for a 10ft cable will not be a problem for 24AWG wire.
What diameter is 18 gauge wire?
about 1 mm
A solid round 18 AWG wire is about 1 mm in diameter.
How is AWG calculated?
Tables of AWG wire sizes Stranded wires are calculated by calculating the equivalent cross sectional copper area. Fusing current (melting wire) is estimated based on 25 °C (77 °F) ambient temperature.
