What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate electric field strength values from volt/mil (V/mil), a common unit in electronics, to volt/meter (V/m), the SI standard unit. It supports engineers and technicians in interpreting and comparing field intensity measurements in different unit systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric field strength value in volt/mil (V/mil)
  • Select the input unit as volt/mil and output unit as volt/meter
  • Click convert to get the equivalent value in volt/meter (V/m)
  • Use the results to interpret or compare electric field strengths in SI units

Key Features

  • Converts electric field strength from volt/mil to volt/meter instantly
  • Browser-based and easy to use
  • Supports unit translation for electronics and electrical engineering contexts
  • Provides clear examples for quick understanding

Examples

  • 2 V/mil equals 78,740.157 V/m
  • 0.5 V/mil equals 19,685.039 V/m

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying PCB clearance or dielectric strength in printed circuit boards
  • Describing electric field intensity for wire insulation and connectors
  • Determining test conditions for dielectric breakdown in electronic components
  • Evaluating ambient electric fields for safety and regulatory compliance
  • Characterizing breakdown thresholds in insulating gaps or materials
  • Assessing near-field electric strengths around high-voltage equipment

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm units before conversion to ensure accurate interpretation
  • Understand that volt/mil uses a non-SI length unit which may cause slight approximations
  • Use converted SI values for regulatory, safety, and engineering standard comparisons
  • Maintain significant figures especially in high precision applications

Limitations

  • Volt/mil relies on the mil unit (0.001 inch), so exact conversions depend on this definition
  • Large converted values in volt/meter can be less intuitive in everyday use
  • Care is required in precision applications to keep conversion accuracy

Frequently Asked Questions
