Convert wire gauge to millimetres in this easy to understand table. Wire gauge sizes are generally used in the USA and this chart will explain the thickness of wire gauge, making it easy to determine what thickness the wire is in millimetres and inches. The general rule to remember is the higher the wire gauge number the thinner the wire and the lower the wire gauge number the thicker the wire.
