What Does AWG Stand For?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge
AWG, or American Wire Gauge, is a standardized system used to measure the diameter of electrically conductive wires in the United States. The gauge number inversely indicates the wire's size; as the gauge number increases, the diameter decreases. AWG specifications apply to various applications, including electrical wiring and manufacturing, ensuring consistency and safety in wire selection and usage.
