What Is This Tool?
This converter tool allows you to transform inductance measurements from decihenry (dH) to centihenry (cH). Both units measure inductance, which quantifies an electrical conductor’s ability to induce voltage from changing current. This tool is essential for electronics design involving components like inductors, chokes, and filters.

Key Terminology
-
Decihenry [dH]
-
An SI-derived unit of inductance equal to one tenth of a henry (0.1 H), used for specifying moderate inductance values in electronic components.
-
Centihenry [cH]
-
A unit of inductance equal to one hundredth of a henry (0.01 H), commonly used for small inductors and precise inductance measurements.
-
Inductance
-
A property of electrical conductors that quantifies the ability to induce a voltage opposing current changes.
