Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
nF = mF × 1000000
Multiply any value in millifarads by 1000000 to obtain the value in nanofarads.
Worked example
Convert 1 mF to nF.
- 01Start with 1 mF.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 nF.
Result1 mF = 1.00000e+6 nF

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mF to nF?
1 mF equals 1000000 nF. To convert, multiply the value in millifarads by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 mF to nF?
1 mF = 1.00000e+6 nF. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert nF back to mF?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 nF = 1e-6 mF.
When would I need to convert millifarad to nanofarad?
Capacitance conversions between mF and nF 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 nF are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
