1. Plural of millihenry; units of electrical inductance equal to one thousandth of a henry.
Usage: technical; used in electronics and electrical engineering

Examples

• The inductor has a value of 47 millihenries.
• Engineers measured the coil's inductance in millihenries.
• This circuit requires components rated at several millihenries.
• The transformer's primary winding shows an inductance of 100 millihenries.
• Millihenries are commonly used to specify small inductors in power supplies.
