nanofarad to microfarad
Convert nanofarad (nF) to microfarad (μF). Use an editable capacitance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 nF = 0.001 μF
Conversion formula
One nanofarad equals 0.001 microfarad. Multiply your value in nanofarad by this factor to get microfarad. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 nanofarad:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 μF

About these measurements
Capacitance relates stored charge to potential difference.
The base reference used here is the farad. One nanofarad is 1e-9 base units; one microfarad is 0.000001 base units.
Important distinctions
Common component values use microfarads, nanofarads, and picofarads.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert nF to μF?
Multiply the quantity in nF by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the microfarad to nanofarad converter.
