Formula
Formula
μF = mF × 1000
Multiply any value in millifarads by 1000 to obtain the value in microfarads.
Worked example
Convert 1 mF to μF.
- 01Start with 1 mF.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 μF.
Result1 mF = 1000 μF

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mF to μF?
1 mF equals 1000 μF. To convert, multiply the value in millifarads by 1000.
How do I convert 1 mF to μF?
1 mF = 1000 μF. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert μF back to mF?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 μF = 0.001 mF.
When would I need to convert millifarad to microfarad?
Capacitance conversions between mF and μF are needed in power-factor-correction sizing, filter design, sensor electronics and motor-starter specification. Microfarads dominate power capacitor and motor-run/start applications; nanofarads and picofarads cover decoupling and RF circuit design.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both mF and μF are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
