35 AWG wire (0.1426 mm diameter) is found in miniature coil windings for relays, sensors, and small inductors. It is used in some hearing aid transducers, micro-motor armatures, and precision measurement instrument coils. Handling requires care as the wire breaks easily under tension.
35 AWG wire has a diameter of 0.1426 mm (142.6 µm), which is roughly 2.0× the thickness of a human hair (about 0.07 mm). Its cross-sectional area is just 0.015974 mm². At this size, the wire is too fragile for manual handling in most cases and is typically wound by machine as enameled magnet wire.
