You could also look at MS90555, MS90556, and MS9557 for some AC connectors and the suggested wire sizes for them.
Should get you started anyway.

I know there is one for printed wiring board but I can't seem to find one on just ampacity and wire size.

Problem is a thermal issue: the wire will heat up. What class of insulation, how hot you can let the wire get is application dependent.
Also, if the application is heavily regulated, then there are often some additional requirement. example, Nat'l Elec Code has current capacity requirements for various types/sizes of wire
