About Converting Centihenrys to Microhenrys
Centihenry and Microhenry 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: Centihenry is 0.01 henry units, and microhenry is 0.000001 henry units.
Formula
microhenrys = centihenrys × 10000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centihenry equals 0.01 base units, and 1 microhenry equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centihenry-to-microhenry factor of 10000.
Simple example
1 cH × 10000 = 10,000 uH
1 centihenry = 10,000 microhenrys.
Real-world example
120 cH × 10000 = 1,200,000 uH
120 centihenrys = 1,200,000 microhenrys.

Reverse conversion: Microhenry to Centihenry
1 uH × 0.0001 = 0.0001 cH
1 microhenry = 0.0001 centihenrys.
centihenrys = microhenrys × 0.0001

Frequently asked questions
How many microhenrys are in 1 centihenry?
1 centihenry equals 10,000 microhenrys, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centihenry to microhenry?
Multiply the centihenry value by 10000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert microhenry back to centihenry?
Use the reverse factor: 1 microhenry equals 0.0001 centihenrys. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centihenry?
Centihenry (cH) is a unit of electricity.
What is a microhenry?
Microhenry (uH) is a unit of electricity.
Is the centihenry to microhenry conversion exact?
Yes. Both centihenry and microhenry are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 10000 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.
