Convert Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin to Watt per millimetre kelvin
Convert Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) to Watt per millimetre kelvin (W/(mm·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
W/(mm·K) = mW/(cm·K) × 0.0001
About Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin
The milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) equals exactly 0.1 W/(m·K). Used in semiconductor and thermoelectric materials research: bismuth telluride ≈15 mW/(cm·K), yttria-stabilised zirconia ≈2 mW/(cm·K). Bridges the scale gap between mW/(m·K) for insulators and W/(m·K) for bulk solids. 1 mW/(cm·K) = 0.1 W/(m·K) = 100 mW/(m·K).
About Watt per millimetre kelvin
The watt per millimetre kelvin (W/(mm·K)) equals exactly 1000 W/(m·K) since 1 mm = 10⁻³ m. Used in microelectronics thermal engineering where components are millimetre-scale: copper ≈0.385, silicon ≈0.148 W/(mm·K). Thermal interface material datasheets for high-performance pads and solder joints commonly use this unit. 1 W/(mm·K) = 1000 W/(m·K) = 10 W/(cm·K).
