28 gauge AWG gauge enameled wire is a finer wound enameled wire commonly used in applications requiring smaller winding diameters and lower current capacities.

The wire diameter of 28 gauge AWG enameled wire is approximately 0.321 mm (0.0126 inches). Because of the small diameter, this enameled wire is suitable for circuits or devices that require compact windings or limited space. Due to the fine diameter limitation, 28 gauge AWG enameled wire has a relatively low current capacity. It is suitable for low current applications such as sensors, relays, small electronic devices, etc. and not for high power or high current applications.

28 gauge AWG enameled wire uses common insulating materials such as polyamido acid or polyimide. These insulating materials usually have good electrical insulation properties and heat resistance. They are mainly widely used in electronic equipment, communication devices, sensors and other small circuits. Due to its small diameter and flexibility, it is often used to connect tiny components or in applications that require a high degree of flexibility.


The manufacture and performance of enameled wire is governed by industry standards, such as the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards or the global International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards. These standards define various characteristics of enameled wire, including gauge size, insulation type, temperature ratings, etc.

When selecting enameled wire, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the application, including current capacity, voltage, temperature and mechanical constraints. Consulting an expert in the field or referring to relevant standards can help ensure that the proper wire gauge and insulation are selected for your specific needs. The diameters and gauges provided are approximate and may vary according to regional or industry-specific standards. It is always recommended to refer to relevant standards or consult an expert for accurate and up-to-date information.
