SWG
mm
1 SWG = 1.1284 mm
Full precision:1.1284 mm
Step-by-Step Solution

To convert 1 swg to mm, we multiply by 1 because one standard wire gauge equals exactly 1 mm.

1 standard wire gauge = 1 mm

Since each standard wire gauge contains 1 mm, we multiply our value by this factor:

1 × 1 = 1.1284 mm

So 1 swg = 1.1284 mm.

Quick check: 1.1284 ÷ 1 = 1 swg

How to Convert SWG to mm

To convert swg to mm, multiply the value by 1.

The Formula

mm = SWG × 1

Key Fact

1 standard wire gauge = 1 mm

Tip: To convert mm back to swg, divide by 1.
