What Is This Tool?
This tool converts inductance values from millihenry (mH), a unit commonly used for small inductors in power supplies and audio circuits, to nanohenry (nH), which is used for very small inductances in RF and microwave engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the inductance value in millihenry (mH) you want to convert
-
Select millihenry as the input unit and nanohenry as the output unit
-
Click convert to get the corresponding value in nanohenry (nH)
Key Features
-
Converts inductance from millihenry to nanohenry quickly and accurately
-
Supports applications in electronics design and RF/microwave tuning
-
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring installation
Examples
-
2 millihenry equals 2,000,000 nanohenry
-
0.5 millihenry equals 500,000 nanohenry
Common Use Cases
-
Converting inductance values in switching power supplies and audio filters
-
Expressing small inductances in RF/microwave tuning and matching networks
-
Evaluating stray inductance in PCB layouts to maintain signal integrity
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter to switch between units when working across power electronics and RF applications
-
Verify converted values when designing circuits sensitive to very small inductance changes
-
Consider the context of your measurements since real components may have tolerances
Limitations
-
Assumes ideal conversions without accounting for component tolerances
-
Does not include parasitic effects present in practical circuits
-
Precision instruments are necessary for measuring nanohenry-level inductances
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one millihenry equal in nanohenry?
-
One millihenry equals one million nanohenry.
-
Why convert millihenry to nanohenry?
-
To express inductance in smaller units suitable for high-frequency circuits and RF applications.
-
Can this conversion account for component tolerances?
-
No, the conversion is ideal and does not consider real-world tolerances or parasitic effects.
Key Terminology
-
Millihenry (mH)
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to 10⁻³ henry, used for small-value inductors in power supplies and audio filters.
-
Nanohenry (nH)
-
A unit of electrical inductance equal to 10⁻⁹ henry, used for very small inductances in RF and microwave engineering.
-
Inductance
-
The property of an electrical element that opposes changes in current by generating a voltage.
