What does SWG measure?

The thickness of a wire is often given as a Standard Wire Gauge, or SWG. This is number from 0000000 or 7/0 (thickest) to 50 (thinnest). The gauge of most wire used in electronics is between 20 and 30.

Is SWG the same as gauge?

In general, an SWG wire would be bigger than an AWG wire of the same gauge. For example, with a gauge value of 1, an SWG wire would have a diameter of 0.3 inches while an AWG wire would have a diameter of 0.2893. … SWG has 50 steps, resulting in a thinnest wire diameter of 0.001 inches.
