About Converting Nanohenrys to Attohenrys
Nanohenry and Attohenry 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: Nanohenry is 1e-9 henry units, and attohenry is 1e-18 henry units.
Formula
attohenrys = nanohenrys × 1000000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanohenry equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 attohenry equals 1e-18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanohenry-to-attohenry factor of 1000000000.
Simple example
1 nH × 1000000000 = 1,000,000,000 aH
1 nanohenry = 1,000,000,000 attohenrys.
Real-world example
120 nH × 1000000000 = 120,000,000,000 aH
120 nanohenrys = 120,000,000,000 attohenrys.

Frequently asked questions
How many attohenrys are in 1 nanohenry?
1 nanohenry equals 1,000,000,000 attohenrys, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert nanohenry to attohenry?
Multiply the nanohenry value by 1000000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert attohenry back to nanohenry?
Use the reverse factor: 1 attohenry equals 1e-9 nanohenrys. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a nanohenry?
Nanohenry (nH) is a unit of electricity.
What is a attohenry?
Attohenry (aH) is a unit of electricity.
Is the nanohenry to attohenry conversion exact?
Yes. Both nanohenry and attohenry are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000000000 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.
