Current capacity of wire
Does anyone have a link or just know the current capacity of 26, 28, and 30
gauge wire. Every link I found only mentions the standard Electrical wire
16ga through 750000 but not the stuff we use in our Stamp products.
Thanks in advance for your help

insulation properties at a given temperature. But, saying that, according
to Alpha Wire Company, 30AWG is good for 2 to 4 amperes (depending on
insulation), 28AWG is 3 to 6 amperes, and 26 AWG is 4 to 7 amperes. One
must also consider the resistive drop in a given length of wire so that the
voltage you apply to one end will not be attenuated excessively at the
other.
Hope this helps.

handle more current than in a bundle or conduit. The Alpha Wire site
mentioned spells that out also.
