How to Convert Picohenries to Henries
The picohenry and henry are both units of inductance. By definition, 1 henry equals exactly 1e12 picohenries. This means to convert picohenries to henries, you divide by 1e12.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pH to henries:
We need to convert picohenries to henries
Since 1 H = 1e12 pH, divide by 1e12
5 ÷ 1e12 = 5e-12
5 pH = 5e-12 H

About These Units
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.
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.
