Right I got some wire 22awg but cud not get 30awg in maplins because they no longer use the awg (american) format.

So does anyone know the conversion for each so next time i go in (2moro) i know the exact thing.

Thank you

30 AWG is 0.050mm squared cross sectional area

22 AWG is 0.32mm squared cross sectional area

if you pm me your email I have a rather useful metric / American wire size equivalent chart in PDF format that I can send you.

hope this helps
