Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between millwatts and microwatts.
What is a milliwatt (mW)?
A milliwatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for milliwatt is mW. There are 0.001 milliwatts in a microwatt.
What is a microwatt (μW)?
A microwatt is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for microwatt is μW. There are 1,000 microwatts in a milliwatt.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from milliwatts to microwatts is:
microwatts = milliwatts x 1,000
Conversion Example
Next, let's look at an example showing the work and calculations that are involved in converting from milliwatts to microwatts (mW to μW).
