About Converting Microhenrys to Nanohenrys
Microhenry 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: Microhenry is 0.000001 henry units, and nanohenry is 1e-9 henry units.
Formula
nanohenrys = microhenrys × 1000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 microhenry equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 nanohenry equals 1e-9 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct microhenry-to-nanohenry factor of 1000.
Simple example
1 uH × 1000 = 1,000 nH
1 microhenry = 1,000 nanohenrys.
Real-world example
120 uH × 1000 = 120,000 nH
120 microhenrys = 120,000 nanohenrys.

Frequently asked questions
How many nanohenrys are in 1 microhenry?
1 microhenry equals 1,000 nanohenrys, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert microhenry to nanohenry?
Multiply the microhenry value by 1000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert nanohenry back to microhenry?
Use the reverse factor: 1 nanohenry equals 0.001 microhenrys. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a microhenry?
Microhenry (uH) is a unit of electricity.
What is a nanohenry?
Nanohenry (nH) is a unit of electricity.
Is the microhenry to nanohenry conversion exact?
Yes. Both microhenry and nanohenry are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000 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.
