About Converting Attohenrys to Nanohenrys
Attohenry and Nanohenry both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Attohenry is 1e-18 henry units, and nanohenry is 1e-9 henry units.
Formula
nanohenrys = attohenrys × 1e-9
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 attohenry equals 1e-18 base units, and 1 nanohenry equals 1e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct attohenry-to-nanohenry factor of 1e-9.
Simple example
1 aH × 1e-9 = 1e-9 nH
1 attohenry = 1e-9 nanohenrys.
Real-world example
120 aH × 1e-9 = 1.2e-7 nH
120 attohenrys = 1.2e-7 nanohenrys.

Frequently asked questions
How many nanohenrys are in 1 attohenry?
1 attohenry equals 1e-9 nanohenrys, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert attohenry to nanohenry?
Multiply the attohenry value by 1e-9. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert nanohenry back to attohenry?
Use the reverse factor: 1 nanohenry equals 1,000,000,000 attohenrys. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a attohenry?
Attohenry (aH) is a unit of electricity.
What is a nanohenry?
Nanohenry (nH) is a unit of electricity.
Is the attohenry to nanohenry conversion exact?
Yes. Both attohenry and nanohenry are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-9 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
