AWG - American Wire Gauge

See our other Electronics Calculators.

The AWG is a logarithmic scale, so given an know resistance or diameter for a certain gauge, you can quickly figure out the resistance and diameter of another gauge number, by addition and subtraction. 

Resistance:

  1. AWG 15 is 10 mohm/m.
  2. Adding 3 doubles the resistance, and subtracting 3 halves it.
  3. Adding 10 multiplies  the resistance by 10, and subtracting 10 it divides by 10.

Diameter:

  1. AWG 18 has a solid diameter of about 1mm
  2. Adding 6 halves the diameter, Subtracting 6 doubles the diameter
  3. Adding 20 divides the diameter by 10, and subtracting 20 multiplies the diameter by 10.
