Someone to double check my math please.

[william]

I'm doing a project that requries some inductors but I'm needing to convert some values.

1.000H   1000uH
0.390H   0390uH
0.220H   0220uH
0.068H   0068uH
0.033H   0033uH
0.068H   0068uH

Thanks

Your off by 1000...
1 anything = 1,000 milli anything = 1,000,000 micro anything = 1,000,000,000 nano anything = 1,000,000,000,000 pico anything = 1,000,000,000,000,000 femto anything.

EDIT
m = milli
u = micro
n = nano
p = pico
f = femto

I didn't know there was a prefix smaller than pico :mrgreen:

[sir_modulus]

well... I think he means milli henries, as it is an easier value to work with/find in this case. Yes, you have converted them right, just put mh, no uh as the suffix.

[smoguzbenjamin]

But uH means microHenry, which isn't milli at all. Replace those u's with m's and you're OK

µ = micro  (1.0E-6)
n= nano  (1.0E-9)
p = pico  (1.0E-12)
f = femto  (1.0E-15)
a = atto  (1.0E-18 )
z = zepto  (1.0E-21)
y = yocto  (1.0E-24)

I wasent aware of zepto or yocto

Peter, do you know the code for inserting "mu" There was a post way back but....

µ = hold ALT, type (on number pad) 230, release ALT.

[Jason Stout]

Thank µ niftydog!

My concern is I need a 1H inductor for a project, and I see mouser offers 1000uH.

[Peter Snowberg]

Unfortunatly, Mouser is not a very good place for big inductors.

Jason, here are some other ALT-codes. The only problem with these is that they may not be very universal across fonts, browsers, and platforms.

171 ½ (1/2) <- in case they don't display
172 ¼ (1/4)
234 Ω (Ohm)
236 ∞ (infinity)
248 ° (degrees)

Take care,

you forgot

v = vexto (1.0E-27)

[gez]

you forgot

v = vexto (1.0E-27)

Hey, and don't forget that g = gezto!!!
