Millifarad to picofarad formula

To convert millifarad to picofarad, multiply by 1000000000.

1 mF = 1000000000 pF
Example: 1 millifarad = 1000000000 picofarad

Common capacitance conversion mistakes

  • The µ prefix is often written u in datasheets and on components, because the character is missing from ordinary keyboards. uF and µF are the same unit, the microfarad. The older American form mfd also means microfarad, despite the m.
  • The picofarad and the nanofarad sit a factor of 1000 apart and are constantly mixed up in circuit diagrams: 100 nF is 100,000 pF. A ceramic capacitor marked 104 is exactly that 100 nF.
  • The millifarad is almost never used in practice. A component marked mF is usually a microfarad in an older spelling, not a millifarad, which would be a thousand times larger.
