Capacitance Converter

Our calculator makes it easy to convert between different capacitance units:

• Enter a value in any capacitance unit
• Select the source unit from the dropdown
• Click convert to see the value in all capacitance units
• Results are displayed with proper formatting

Common capacitance units and their relationships:

• 1 Farad (F) = 1,000 millifarads (mF)
• 1 millifarad (mF) = 1,000 microfarads (µF)
• 1 microfarad (µF) = 1,000 nanofarads (nF)
• 1 nanofarad (nF) = 1,000 picofarads (pF)

Note: The farad is a relatively large unit. Most practical capacitors are measured in microfarads (µF) or smaller units.

• Electronic circuit design
• Capacitor selection and specification
• Power supply design
• Filter circuit calculations
• Timing circuit design
• Energy storage calculations

• Remember that each unit is 1000 times larger than the next smaller unit
• Use appropriate units for your application (µF for most electronics)
• Consider tolerance ranges when selecting capacitors
• Keep track of decimal places in your calculations
