What Is This Tool?

This converter enables easy translation of area values measured in square mils, a small imperial-derived unit often used in electronics and electrical engineering, into square millimeters, the SI unit widely adopted for small surface and cross-sectional areas in scientific and engineering fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the area value in square mil (mil^2) you wish to convert.
  • Select square mil as the source unit and square millimeter (mm²) as the target unit.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent area in square millimeters.

Key Features

  • Converts square mils (mil^2) to square millimeters (mm²) based on accurate conversion rates.
  • Supports measurements commonly used in PCB design, electrical conductor sizing, and microfabrication.
  • Provides a user-friendly, browser-based interface for quick and straightforward area unit conversion.

Examples

  • 10 square mil equals 0.0064516 square millimeters.
  • 100 square mil converts to 0.064516 square millimeters.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying copper trace and pad areas on printed circuit boards in electronics manufacturing.
  • Measuring cross-sectional areas of electrical conductors and flat metal segments in engineering.
  • Characterizing very small surface areas in precision manufacturing and thin-film applications.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you use square mil only when working within industries that apply imperial units for very small areas.
  • Always double-check input values to avoid confusion between square mil and circular mil units.
  • Convert results into SI units for better compatibility in scientific documentation and international projects.

Limitations

  • Square mil is rarely used outside specific engineering and manufacturing fields.
  • Conversion involves very small values, so rounding errors may occur.
  • Confusion may arise if square mil is mistaken for circular mil, which measures circular cross-sectional areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a square mil?
A square mil (mil^2) is an area unit representing a square with sides of one mil (0.001 inch), used mainly for very small areas in electronics and electrical engineering.

Why convert square mil to square millimeter?
Converting to square millimeters, an SI unit, helps standardize measurements for scientific, manufacturing, and international engineering purposes.

How does a square mil differ from a circular mil?
Square mil measures the area of a square 1 mil per side, while a circular mil measures the area of a circle with a diameter of 1 mil; they represent different shapes and area calculations.

Key Terminology

Square mil [mil^2]
An area unit equal to a square with sides one mil (0.001 inch), used for very small imperial-based area measurements.
Square millimeter [mm^2]
An SI-derived area unit representing a square with sides one millimeter long, used for small surface areas and cross-sectional measurements.
Circular mil
An area unit measuring the cross-sectional area of a circle one mil in diameter, distinct from square mil.
