Convert Millifarad to Nanofarad
Enter the number of millifarads that you want to convert to nanofarads.
How to Convert Millifarads to Nanofarads
The millifarad and nanofarad are both units of capacitance. By definition, 1 millifarad equals exactly 1e15 nanofarads. This means to convert millifarads to nanofarads, you multiply by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mF to nanofarads:
We need to convert millifarads to nanofarads
Since 1 mF = 1e15 nF, multiply by 1e15
5 × 1e15 = 5e15
5 mF = 5e15 nF

About These Units
Millifarad (mF)
A millifarad (mF) equals 0.001 farads or 1,000 microfarads. Found in large electrolytic capacitors for power supplies, audio equipment, and motor start capacitors. Supercapacitors range from 0.1 to 5,000+ mF. Also written as 1000 µF.
Nanofarad (nF)
A nanofarad (nF) equals 10⁻⁹ farads, 1,000 picofarads, or 0.001 microfarads. Common for ceramic disc capacitors (1-100 nF), film capacitors, and timing circuits. Bypass capacitors often use 100 nF (0.1 μF). One nF = 1000 pF.
