Capacitance converter
Convert between F, mF, µF, nF, pF and fF capacitance units.
Formulas
1 F = 10³ mF = 10⁶ µF
1 µF = 10³ nF = 10⁶ pF
1 nF = 10³ pF = 10⁶ fF
Engineering background
Capacitance scales in 10³ steps. EMC filter design frequently switches between pF and nF when selecting X/Y and decoupling capacitors.
Key benefits
01
One-click conversion across F, mF, µF, nF, pF and fF, covering farads to femtofarads.
02
Ideal for switching units during filter and decoupling-capacitor selection.
03
Avoids the common error of missing a 10³ factor in manual conversion.

FAQ
How many pF is 1 µF?
1 µF = 10⁶ pF.
Why does EMC work commonly use pF/nF?
EMC filter capacitors are typically in the pF to nF range, where smaller units are more intuitive.
