F to nF Conversion Calculator

Enter exactly 1 value to calculate the other

Assumptions Assumptions
  • SI decimal prefixes are used: mF = 10-3 F, µF = 10-6 F, nF = 10-9 F, pF = 10-12 F.
  • Calculator performs unit conversion only—no tolerance, voltage rating, or temperature coefficient considerations.
  • Results displayed in the fields are rounded to 6 decimal places.
  • Very large or small values may be easier to read using scientific or engineering notation.
When to Use This Calculator
  • Converting capacitor values between datasheets or EDA tools (e.g., µF ↔ nF ↔ pF).
  • Normalizing units for RC time constant or filter calculations.
  • Interpreting component markings expressed in different SI prefixes.
Input Definitions
  • Farads — enter a value and select F, mF, µF, nF, or pF as the unit.
  • Nanofarads — enter a value and select nF, pF, µF, mF, or F as the unit.
  • Conversions — nF = F × 109; F = nF × 10-9; also 1 µF = 1000 nF and 1 nF = 1000 pF.

How do you convert F to nF? Multiply farads by 109 (nF = F × 1,000,000,000).

How do you convert nF to F? Divide nanofarads by 109 (F = nF ÷ 1,000,000,000).

Example Problem

Convert 0.000001 F to nF.

Use the formula: nF = F × 109.

nF = 0.000001 × 109 = 1000 nF
