Convert Millikelvin per watt to Degree Celsius per watt
Convert Millikelvin per watt (mK/W) to Degree Celsius per watt (°C/W) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
°C/W = mK/W × 0.001
About Millikelvin per watt
The millikelvin per watt (mK/W) equals exactly 10⁻³ K/W. It is used for ultra-low thermal resistances in high-conductivity materials such as diamond heat spreaders (≈ 0.3 mK/W per mm thickness for 1 cm² area), liquid metal TIMs, and cryogenic heat links. Measuring at this scale requires precision power dissipation and calorimetric temperature sensing. 1 mK/W = 10⁻³ K/W.
About Degree Celsius per watt
The degree Celsius per watt (°C/W) equals exactly 1 K/W since temperature intervals 1 °C = 1 K. It is the dominant notation in semiconductor, LED, and power electronics datasheets worldwide. Thermal resistance values such as RθJA (junction-to-ambient) and RθJC (junction-to-case) are almost universally quoted in °C/W. A package at 50 °C/W dissipating 2 W yields ΔT = 100 °C. 1 °C/W = 1 K/W.
