Convert Gigaohms to Kilohms
Convert Gigaohms (GΩ) to Kilohms (kΩ) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kΩ = GΩ × 1000000
About Gigaohms
The gigaohm (GΩ) equals 10⁹ Ω, the regime of PTFE and glass insulation, MOSFET gate oxide, and specialised electrometer inputs. High-quality PCB insulation resistance between adjacent tracks exceeds 10 GΩ; the reverse-leakage resistance of a silicon junction at room temperature is in the gigaohm range; the guarded input of a Keithley 6517B electrometer is rated at 200 TΩ, but JFET-input op-amps commonly show input resistance of a few GΩ. 1 GΩ = 10⁹ Ω = 10³ MΩ.
About Kilohms
The kilohm (kΩ) equals 10³ Ω, covering the most common range of discrete resistors in electronics. Pull-up and pull-down resistors are typically 1-10 kΩ; potentiometer tracks run 1-100 kΩ; input-bias resistors in transistor amplifiers and voltage-divider networks are almost always in the kilohm range. 1 kΩ = 10³ Ω = 10⁻³ MΩ.
