Capacitor Unit Converter Calculator

Capacitor Unit Converter Calculator

This is a free tool for converting the capacitor unit from nf to pf, pf to nf, uf to mf,mf to nf, and nano ferad to ferad. Just enter the capacitor value in any of the input fields. These results will automatically appear in the rest of the sections

The calculator uses simple multiplication/division based on standard capacitance unit conversions. Here’s the exact formula and an example:

Conversion Formula
All conversions are based on picofarads (pF) as the reference unit:

Copy
1 pF = 0.001 nF = 0.000001 μF = 0.000000001 mF = 0.000000000001 F
The calculator:

Converts your input to pF first using these multipliers:

javascript

const capFactors = {
pF: 1, // 1 pF = 1 pF
nF: 1e3, // 1 nF = 1000 pF
uF: 1e6, // 1 μF = 1,000,000 pF
mF: 1e9, // 1 mF = 1,000,000,000 pF
F: 1e12 // 1 F = 1,000,000,000,000 pF
};
Converts pF back to other units by dividing:

[Target Unit Value] = [pF Value] / [Target Unit Factor]
Example Calculation
Convert 470nF to other units:

Convert 470nF → pF:

Copy
470 nF × 1000 = 470,000 pF
Convert pF to other units:

μF: 470,000 ÷ 1,000,000 = 0.47 μF

mF: 470,000 ÷ 1,000,000,000 = 0.00047 mF

F: 470,000 ÷ 1,000,000,000,000 = 0.00000047 F

Result:

Copy
470000 pF | 470 nF | 0.47 μF | 0.00047 mF | 0.00000047 F
Why This Works
All capacitance units are powers of 10 apart

Using pF as a base avoids floating-point errors in calculations

The JavaScript code handles precision with .toPrecision(6) to limit results to 6 significant figures
