Convert nH to pH

Enter the number of nanohenries that you want to convert to picohenries.

1 nH (nanohenries) = 1000 pH (picohenries)

How to Convert Nanohenries to Picohenries

The nanohenry and picohenry are both units of inductance. By definition, 1 nanohenry equals exactly 1000 picohenries. This means to convert nanohenries to picohenries, you multiply by 1000.

Formula

picohenries = nanohenries × 1000

Step-by-Step Example

Convert 5 nH to picohenries:

1
Convert 5 nH to picohenries

We need to convert nanohenries to picohenries

2
Apply the formula

Since 1 nH = 1000 pH, multiply by 1000

5 × 1000 = 5000

Answer

5 nH = 5000 pH

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.

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.
