What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform electric field strength values from volt per meter (V/m), an SI unit, to volt per mil (V/mil), a unit commonly employed in electronics and electrical engineering for smaller scale measurements.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric field strength value in volt per meter (V/m)
  • Select the source unit as volt/meter and the target unit as volt/mil
  • Use the formula 1 V/m = 0.0000254 V/mil to perform the conversion
  • Review the converted value in volt per mil (V/mil)

Key Features

  • Conversion between V/m and V/mil with a straightforward formula
  • Units tailored for electric field strength measurement
  • Useful for electronics, PCB design, and high-voltage component evaluation
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations

Examples

  • Convert 1000 V/m to V/mil: 1000 × 0.0000254 = 0.0254 V/mil
  • Convert 500 V/m to V/mil: 500 × 0.0000254 = 0.0127 V/mil

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring electric field strengths where distances are in mils, such as on printed circuit boards
  • Specifying clearance and dielectric strength requirements for electronics components
  • Testing dielectric breakdown and flashover conditions in component qualification
  • Assessing insulation and electric field intensity in high-voltage electronic assemblies

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm units when converting between SI and imperial-based measurements
  • Use this conversion when working with insulation distances on PCBs or in electronics
  • Ensure to consider precision when applying volt/mil units in critical safety compliance contexts
  • Familiarize with both units’ typical applications for better engineering communication

Limitations

  • Volt/mil is based on an imperial length unit and may require careful conversion from metric units
  • Not an SI unit, so regulatory or international use may require additional clarification
  • Precision must be maintained to avoid errors in critical electronic or electrical designs

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 volt per meter (V/m) represent?
1 V/m is the SI unit of electric field strength, representing one volt of potential difference across one meter, equivalent to the force per unit charge.

Why use volt per mil (V/mil) instead of volt per meter in electronics?
Volt per mil is convenient for specifying electric field intensities and insulation requirements at smaller length scales common in electronics, such as PCB trace spacing.

How do I convert volt per meter to volt per mil?
Multiply the value in volt per meter by 0.0000254 to get the equivalent in volt per mil.

Key Terminology

Volt per meter (V/m)
The SI unit for electric field strength representing one volt of potential difference across one meter.
Volt per mil (V/mil)
A unit of electric field strength equal to one volt across one mil (0.001 inch), commonly used in electronics for insulation and clearance specifications.
Electric field strength
A measure of force per unit charge representing the intensity of an electric field.
