Wire Conversion PDF

This document provides conversion tables between American Wire Gauge (AWG) and millimeters squared (mm2) for wire cross-sectional areas. The tables list common AWG sizes from 20 to 1000 along with their equivalent cross-sectional area in mm2 and vice versa. The document notes that there are sometimes multiple AWG choices for a given mm2 area, so an engineer should be consulted to determine the appropriate wire size based on current carrying capacity needs.
