Millifarad to Microfarad (mF to μF)
Convert mF to μF — Capacitance converter
Also written as mF to uF.
One millifarad equals 1000 μF, so to convert millifarads to microfarads you multiply the value by 1000. A millifarad is larger than a microfarad — going the other way, 1 μF = 0.001 mF. For example, 10 mF = 10000 μF and 50 mF = 50000 μF.
1 mF = 1000 μF
Millifarad to Microfarad formula
1 Millifarad = 1000 μF
Worked examples
- 25 mF = 25000 μF
- 100 mF = 100000 μF

Reading capacitor markings
Capacitor values are written three different ways, which is where most conversion mistakes start. Small ceramics carry a three-digit code in picofarads: the first two digits are the value, the third is the number of zeros. A capacitor marked 104 is 10 followed by four zeros — 100,000 pF, which is 100 nF, which is 0.1 µF. All three describe the same part.
On older parts and in a lot of American documentation you will see "mfd" or "MFD". That means microfarad, not millifarad — it predates the µ symbol being easy to print. Treating it as millifarads overstates the value by a factor of 1,000.
The scale is strictly decimal: 1 F = 1,000 mF = 1,000,000 µF = 10⁹ nF = 10¹² pF. On this page, 1 mF = 1000 μF.
