What is Mil?
A mil (also known as a thou) is a unit of length equal to 0.001 inches (1/1000th of an inch).
One mil is approximately equal to 0.0254 mm.
Common Uses
Mils are widely used in engineering and manufacturing to specify the thickness of materials (like plastic films, paper, and gold leaf) and the tolerances of machined parts. In electronics, it is the standard unit for designing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
What is Nanometer?
The nanometer (symbol: nm) is an SI unit of length equal to $10^{-9}$ meters.
Common Uses
Nanometers are the standard unit for measuring wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light) and for describing the feature sizes of advanced semiconductor chips and nanotechnology.
How many nanometer are in a mil?
There are 25400 nanometer in 1 mil.
