What is the capacity of 22 AWG wire?
22 AWG wire is a thin, low current electrical copper wire for low voltage applications such as electronics and LED lighting. The 22 AWG copper wire has a capacity of 7 amps in free air and up to 5 amps either bundled. 22 AWG wires are typically run short distances, so voltage drop is not […]
