Can this converter handle aluminum wire, or is it only for copper?

The AWG standard listed on the Engineering ToolBox page includes copper, aluminum, and other wire materials, so the conversion chart applies to aluminum conductors as well as copper.

Does the chart account for the difference between solid and stranded wire?

The page includes a note that the diameter of a stranded wire is larger than that of a solid wire with the same AWG, indicating the chart provides general values with this distinction in mind.

Is there a limit to how many AWG sizes I can convert at once?

The table lists AWG sizes from 0000 (4/0) down to 26 gauge, covering the standard range; users needing values outside this range would need to consult additional resources or calculate manually.

Can I download or print the conversion chart for offline use?

Yes, the page provides a download and print option for the AWG chart, allowing users to save a physical reference for their projects.

About this tool

What Awg to Mm2 Electrical Converter does

The Engineering ToolBox AWG to mm² converter provides a structured wire gauge chart that translates American Wire Gauge sizes into cross-sectional areas in square millimeters and diameters in millimeters. Users receive a comprehensive reference covering copper, aluminum, and other conductors, with data extending from 0000 (4/0) down to 26 gauge. The table includes both diameter measurements and cross-sectional area values, supporting accurate electrical sizing calculations for designers and engineers. A downloadable and printable chart option is also available for offline use. The Engineering ToolBox version distinguishes itself through its embedded wire gauge chart format that displays diameter and area values side-by-side within a single table, rather than requiring separate conversion steps. The page notes that stranded wire diameter exceeds solid wire diameter with the same AWG, offering a practical consideration often omitted by competitors. Additional features include related search suggestions, a downloadable chart, and the page's integration within a broader engineering resource ecosystem, all without requiring account creation or subscription for basic conversion data.

Step by step

How to use the Engineering ToolBox Awg to Mm2 Electrical Converter

1
Locate the AWG value you need to convert in the leftmost column of the wire gauge table
2
Read across to find the corresponding diameter in millimeters and cross-sectional area in square millimeters
3
Note the material-specific considerations (copper vs aluminum) listed on the page for your application
4
Use the downloadable chart link if you need a printable reference for offline work

Is it right for you

Best for

Electrical engineers, designers, and hobbyists who need quick, material-aware AWG-to-mm² conversions without registering for an account or paying for premium access.

Limitations

No unit switching between AWG, SWG, or other gauge standards within the same interface
Conversion values are estimates based on solid wire assumptions unless stranded specifications are separately consulted
Page contains advertisements and related search content that may distract from the core conversion table
