Default 20ga wire find for switch to relay?

Just looking for a quick answer... Is 20ga wire fine for switch to relay? I have an ungodly amount of 20ga laying around and have 5 circuits to wire up so the small gauge will be a little easyer to run.

Thanks

Maybe?

What's the wire size to most relays per Rave?

If it's the just the switch leg and not the load, then yes you should be fine. All my wires from the switch to relay are 26 guage and I run a single 1 amp fuse to run the switch legs.
