AWG conversion
The table below according to ISO/IEC61918 Ed. 2.0 Appendix F can be used to convert American AWG diameters to the metric format. The AWG number refers to the number of times the wire concerned has to be drawn through the drawing in order to manufacture it – the thinner the wire, the more drawing procedures are necessary.
