Milliampere (mA) Converter

Understanding Milliamperes

A milliampere (mA) is a unit of electrical current equal to one-thousandth (1/1000) of an ampere. It's commonly used in electronics and electrical engineering for measuring relatively small currents.

Common Uses of Milliamperes

Milliamperes are frequently used to measure:

• Battery charging currents for mobile devices
• LED and small electronic component current consumption
• Medical device power requirements
• Sensor output signals

Conversion Guide

To convert between milliamperes and other current units:

• 1 ampere (A) = 1,000 milliamperes (mA)
• 1 milliampere (mA) = 1,000 microamperes (μA)
• 1 milliampere (mA) = 0.001 amperes (A)
• 1 kiloampere (kA) = 1,000,000 milliamperes (mA)
