What does microhenry (µH) measure?

Microhenry (µH) measures electrical inductance, quantifying very small inductors typically used in RF tuning and filter circuits.

Why convert microhenry to centihenry?

Converting microhenry to centihenry helps standardize and compare inductance values across different scales for accurate component specification.

Can I use this conversion for all inductance ranges?

No, it's important to ensure the inductance values are appropriate for the application to avoid misinterpretation or incorrect component choices.
