Magnet wire gauge
Magnet wire gauge is a measure of the diameter of magnet wire that is commonly used in electrical applications. The thickness of the wire is dependent on the diameter, with a smaller gauge number representing thicker wire. Larger diameter wires have less resistance and can handle more current, thinner have higher resistance and carry less. The gage of the wire is directly proportional to the amount of heat build-up, influencing the efficiency and safety of an electrical system.
When deciding on the proper YUHENG magnet wire gauge size for your device, you'll need to take into account how much current you want it to carry, the desired voltage and the amount of distance it will travel. Heavier wire is often used for higher current applications, including motor and transformer coils, while lighter gauges are used for lighter current detecting interfaces and signals.
