Convert nH to H
Type the number of nanohenries that you wish to convert to henries.
How to Convert Nanohenries to Henries
The nanohenry and henry are both units of inductance. By definition, 1 henry equals exactly 1000000000 nanohenries. This means to convert nanohenries to henries, you divide by 1000000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 nH to henries:
We need to convert nanohenries to henries
Since 1 H = 1000000000 nH, divide by 1000000000
5 ÷ 1000000000 = 5e-9
5 nH = 5e-9 H

About These Units
Nanohenry (nH)
A nanohenry (nH) equals 10⁻⁹ henries or 1,000 picohenries. Used in high-frequency RF circuits (1-100 nH), chip inductors for cell phones, and microwave applications. SMD RF inductors: 1-100 nH. PCB trace inductance: ~1 nH per mm.
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.
