What is one dekafarad in microfarads?

One dekafarad (daF) equals 10,000,000 microfarads (µF).

When should I use dekafarad instead of microfarad?

Use dekafarad when specifying very large capacitances such as those in supercapacitor banks or industrial capacitor systems.

Is this conversion relevant for small electronic component capacitors?

Generally no; microfarads are more appropriate for small component values, while dekafarads address large-scale capacitance.
