Formulas

Core equations used by this converter.

FormulamA = A × 1000

FormulaA = mA ÷ 1000

iDC and resistive AC use PF = 1. Single-phase: multiply by PF. Three-phase line-to-line: include √3. Prefer RMS voltage and current for AC.

How to use

Take the current in amperes.

Multiply by 1000.

Multiply by **1000**.

Use milliamps when values would otherwise be small decimals

Use milliamps when values would otherwise be small decimals in amps.

Example conversions

Common values with formula and result.

1 A to mA

1 × 1000 = 1000 mA

1000 mA

0.5 A to mA

0.5 × 1000 = 500 mA

500 mA

0.02 A to mA (20 mA LED scale)

0.02 × 1000 = 20 mA

20 mA

Reverse: 2500 mA → A

2500 ÷ 1000 = 2.5 A

2.5 A

Definition: **Ampere (A)** — SI unit of electric current. **Milliampere (mA)** — 0.001 A. Common for electronics, LED drive current, and low-power sensors.
What it calculates: Convert amperes (A) to milliamperes (mA). Exact factor: 1 A = 1000 mA. Formula mA = A × 1000, examples, and chart.
Inputs: Values required by the selected conversion mode
Outputs: Converted result in the target unit or format
Formula: mA = A × 1000 · A = mA ÷ 1000
Amps to milliamps table: Amps (A) Milliamps (mA)
0.001 A 1 mA
0.01 A 10 mA
0.1 A 100 mA
0.5 A 500 mA
1 A 1000 mA
2 A 2000 mA
5 A 5000 mA
10 A 10 000 mA

Uses the formulas documented on this page.
Units: Amps × Volts
Boundary conditions: Empty or invalid input yields no valid result.
Out-of-range values may be rejected by the tool runtime.
Example: 1 A to mA → 1000 mA
Validation cases: 1 A to mA → 1000 mA
0.5 A to mA → 500 mA
0.02 A to mA (20 mA LED scale) → 20 mA
Reverse: 2500 mA → A → 2.5 A
