Milliohm (mΩ) to Kiloohm (kΩ) Conversion
👋 Welcome to the mΩ to kΩ Conversion tool! This calculator helps you convert resistance from milliohms to kiloohms. 🚀
Conversion Formula 🔄
The relationship between milliohms and kiloohms can be expressed as:
kΩ = mΩ / 1,000,000Where:
- kΩ = Kiloohms
- mΩ = Milliohms
Example Calculation
If you have a resistance of 5000000 mΩ, the calculation would be:
kΩ = 5000000 mΩ / 1,000,000 = 5 kΩUnderstanding mΩ and kΩ 🧠
What is a Milliohm (mΩ)?
A milliohm (mΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to one-thousandth of an ohm (0.001 Ω). It is commonly used in precision measurements.
What is a Kiloohm (kΩ)?
A kiloohm (kΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to 1,000 ohms. It is commonly used in electronics to describe the resistance of components.
Why Convert mΩ to kΩ?
Converting milliohms to kiloohms is useful for understanding the resistance values of components, especially in circuit design and analysis.

FAQs
Milliohms (mΩ) and Kiloohms (kΩ) are units of electrical resistance. The prefix ‘milli’ means 1/1,000 and ‘kilo’ means 1,000, so:
This means that 1 Kiloohm is equal to 1,000,000 Milliohms.
To convert from Milliohms to Kiloohms:
For example:
- 1,000,000 mΩ = 1 kΩ
- 500,000 mΩ = 0.5 kΩ
- 2,200,000 mΩ = 2.2 kΩ
To convert from Kiloohms to Milliohms:
Milliohms are typically used when:
- Working with very small resistance values (less than 1 kΩ)
- Measuring low-resistance components in precision applications
- Testing connections in power systems where low resistance is critical
Kiloohms are used for higher resistance applications, such as in circuit design.
Common resistor values can be expressed in both mΩ and kΩ:
- A “2.2k” resistor = 2.2 kΩ = 2,200,000 mΩ
- A “10k” resistor = 10 kΩ = 10,000,000 mΩ
- A “100m” resistor = 100 mΩ = 0.1 kΩ
This notation is commonly used in circuit diagrams and component specifications.
When using Ohm’s Law (V = IR), ensure your resistance units are consistent:
Remember to convert kΩ to mΩ before calculating, or adjust your final answer accordingly.
