AWG to mm² Conversion Explained: Wire Sizing for Safety and Performance (Sponsored)

It is of fundamental importance across a broad range of electrical projects to ensure the right wire size is chosen for the given application. Accordingly, then, there are few more critically needed skills among electricians and engineers than knowing how to convert from AWG to mm2. Before we go any further, let’s quickly set out these two units of measurement: “AWG”, of course, refers to American Wire Gauge – a standardised wire gauge system that goes back to the mid-19th century. As its name indicates, AWG is predominantly used in North America. In Europe and elsewhere in the world, however, millimetres squared, or “mm2”, see widespread use for directly measuring a cable’s cross-sectional area, or CSA. In some contexts, then, you might see AWG being used, while in others, references to wire size may be in mm2. Being able to quickly convert between these two systems will help ensure both […]

Check out this 24-layer HDI PCB made with PCBWay’s high-layer, high-order interposer PCB manufacturing services (Sponsored)

Connections between chips have become increasingly complex, and applications with higher frequency and speed requirements may not make use of traditional PCB technology. That’s where the interposer PCB, a new type of PCB comes into play. PCBWay has the capability to manufacture high-layer, high-order PCBs, and even successfully developed a 24-layer, 6-order arbitrary interconnection HDI PCB. The interposer PCB is a highly precise, high-density interconnect (HDI) PCB that allows for a higher wiring density per unit area compared to traditional PCBs. HDI PCBs are characterized by features such as micro vias, finer lines and spaces, higher connection pad density, and the use of blind and buried vias. These features enable the miniaturization of electronic devices by allowing more functionality to be packed into a smaller space. The design characteristics of this PCB include inner layers connected to the outer layers through laser microvias and dense routing, resulting in a multi-structure […]
