Convert Abhenries (abH) to Picohenries (pH) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pH = abH × 1000
About Abhenries
The abhenry (abH) is the inductance unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1 abΩ × 1 s = 10⁻⁹ Ω × 1 s = 10⁻⁹ H, exactly equal to 1 nH in SI. It appears in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts alongside abohms and abamperes; the abhenry was the standard inductance unit in EMU telegraphy and early radio literature. 1 abH = 10⁻⁹ H = 1 nH.
About Picohenries
The picohenry (pH) equals 10⁻¹² H, the practical unit for short PCB traces, decoupling capacitor equivalent series inductance (ESL), and bond-wire inductance in RF packages. A 1 mm PCB trace (50 Ω microstrip) has about 1 nH/mm; SMD bypass capacitors have ESL of 0.1-2 nH; gold bondwires are 1-5 pH/mm. IC package lead inductances are typically 1-10 nH = 1 000-10 000 pH. 1 pH = 10⁻³ nH = 10⁻¹² H.
