About Converting Nanohenrys to Microhenrys
Nanohenry 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: Nanohenry is 1e-9 henry units, and microhenry is 0.000001 henry units.
Formula
microhenrys = nanohenrys × 0.001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 nanohenry equals 1e-9 base units, and 1 microhenry equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct nanohenry-to-microhenry factor of 0.001.
Simple example
1 nH × 0.001 = 0.001 uH
1 nanohenry = 0.001 microhenrys.
Real-world example
120 nH × 0.001 = 0.12 uH
120 nanohenrys = 0.12 microhenrys.

Reverse conversion: Microhenry to Nanohenry
0.001 uH × 1000 = 1 nH
0.001 microhenrys = 1 nanohenry.
nanohenrys = microhenrys × 1000

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