AWG Wire Diameters

The diameter of AWG (American Wire Gauge) wires decreases as the gauge number increases. Here are the diameters for some common AWG wire sizes:

Key Points:

• Larger Diameter, Lower Gauge: As the gauge number decreases, the wire diameter increases.
• Smaller Diameter, Higher Gauge: As the gauge number increases, the wire diameter decreases.

These diameters are for solid wires. For stranded wires, the overall diameter can be slightly larger due to the small gaps between the strands.
