Convert Nanohenries to Picohenries

Convert Nanohenries (nH) to Picohenries (pH) instantly and accurately.

Conversion Formula

pH = nH × 1000

About Nanohenries

The nanohenry (nH) equals 10⁻⁹ H, the everyday unit for RF inductors, PCB trace inductance, and package parasitics. A 10 mm PCB microstrip trace is about 10 nH; surface-mount RF chokes range from 1 to 1 000 nH; bond-wire lead inductances are 1-20 nH; resonant LC tank circuits for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi use inductors of 1-100 nH. 1 nH = 10⁻³ µH = 10⁻⁹ H.

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.
