Convert Henry to Picohenry
Input the number of henries you want to convert to picohenries.
How to Convert Henries to Picohenries
The henry and picohenry are both units of inductance. By definition, 1 henry equals exactly 1e12 picohenries. This means to convert henries to picohenries, you multiply by 1e12.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 H to picohenries:
We need to convert henries to picohenries
Since 1 H = 1e12 pH, multiply by 1e12
5 × 1e12 = 5e12
5 H = 5e12 pH

About These Units
Henry (H)
The henry (H) is the SI unit of electrical inductance—one henry induces 1 volt when current changes at 1 ampere per second. Large transformers and chokes range from 0.1-10 H. Car ignition coils: 3-8 H. Named after American scientist Joseph Henry. Formula: V = L × di/dt.
Picohenry (pH)
A picohenry (pH) equals 10⁻¹² henries. Measures parasitic inductance in PCB traces (10-100 pH/mm), bond wires (1-5 nH), IC packages, and high-speed digital circuits. Via hole inductance: 0.5-1 nH. Critical for GHz-frequency design.
