The conversion relationship between the two can be calculated using a formula. The following is the conversion formula between AWG and mm² and its application:
AWG to mm2 conversion formula
For 1 AWG to 46 AWG conversion, the following formula can be used:
This formula applies to conversions between 1 AWG and 46 AWG.
Formula for conversion from mm² to AWG:
For situations where the cross-sectional area is known and needs to be converted to AWG value, the following formula can be used.
Selecting wire gauge: Depending on the required current and voltage, the appropriate AWG value can be selected. For example, for applications requiring higher currents, a smaller AWG value should be selected.
With the above formulas and examples, it is easy to convert between AWG and mm² in order to select the appropriate wire gauge or to calculate the current carrying capacity of the wire.
