Does the tool give exact metric equivalents for every AWG size?

No, the diameter and area values are rounded to fit the nearest AWG standard, so the results are approximate rather than mathematically exact.

Can I convert AWG to diameter only, or do I also get area?

Both diameter in millimeters and cross‑sectional area in square millimeters are calculated and displayed together.

Is the calculator free to use, or does it require a subscription?

The tool is freely accessible in the browser without requiring a paid plan or account.

What does the conversion chart on the page show?

The chart lists AWG sizes from 0000 down to 50, providing a quick reference for diameter and cross‑sectional area values across the full standard range.

About this tool

What Awg to Mm2 Electrical Converter does

The RapidTables AWG to mm² converter instantly translates American Wire Gauge numbers into metric cross‑sectional area (mm²) and diameter (mm). Users enter a gauge number or select one from the scrollable list, click Calculate, and the tool returns the conductor’s diameter in millimeters and its cross‑sectional area in square millimeters. The page also hosts a full conversion chart covering AWG 0000 through 50, making it easy to reference multiple sizes at once. The calculator is purely computational—no sign‑up or payment is needed, and the results update in real time as the gauge changes.
