What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform inductance measurements from decihenry to millihenry, facilitating accurate representation of medium-range inductance values used in various electronic designs.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the inductance value in decihenry (dH).
-
Select decihenry as the input unit and millihenry as the output unit.
-
Click convert to get the equivalent value in millihenry (mH).
Key Features
-
Converts inductance values from decihenry (dH) to millihenry (mH).
-
Based on the exact conversion rate: 1 dH equals 100 mH.
-
Supports applications in power supply design, audio filtering, and EMI/RFI choke components.
Examples
-
0.5 dH converts to 50 mH.
-
2 dH converts to 200 mH.
Common Use Cases
-
Expressing medium-range inductance in finer units for detailed circuit analysis.
-
Documenting inductance values in datasheets and educational materials.
-
Designing inductors and filters in power supplies and audio electronics.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure measurement tools used are suitable for the smaller unit scale when converting to millihenry.
-
Keep in mind inductance may vary with frequency and temperature, so conversions assume normal conditions.
-
Use this conversion to improve precision in component specification and circuit design.
Limitations
-
Conversion accuracy depends on the precision of measurement instruments.
-
Inductance values can change with temperature and frequency, which this conversion does not account for.

Key Terminology
-
Decihenry [dH]
-
An SI-derived unit of inductance equal to one tenth of a henry, used to specify medium-range inductors.
-
Millihenry [mH]
-
A derived SI unit of inductance equal to one thousandth of a henry, used in design and analysis of small-value inductors.
-
Inductance
-
A property of an electrical conductor that quantifies its ability to induce voltage opposing changes in current.
