Millihenry is an inductance unit used in coils, filters, transformers and magnetic circuit calculations.
The prefix milli- (one thousandth, from Latin mille) was part of the original French metric system of 1795; the millihenry is typical for chokes and filter inductors.
Measurement system: Electrical engineering and electromagnetic circuit usage. SI equivalent: 1 mH = 0.001 H.
