Square millimeter (mm²) - tiny metric area
Square millimeter is a metric unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 millimeter. Used for tiny surface areas, cross-sections, and component footprints in engineering and electronics.
- Symbol: mm²
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 mm² = (0.001 m)² = 1×10⁻⁶ m² = 0.01 cm²; 100 mm² = 1 cm²
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 mm² = 1/645.16 in² ≈ 0.0015500031 in² ≈ 0.00001076391 ft² ≈ 0.00000119599 yd²
- Typical examples: wire cross-sectional areas (e.g., 2.5 mm²), microchip die areas, small nozzle or orifice openings
Square centimeter (cm²) - small metric area
Square centimeter is a metric unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 centimeter. Used for labeling, small component footprints, and cross-sections in science and engineering.
- Symbol: cm²
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 cm² = (0.01 m)² = 0.0001 m² = 100 mm²; 1 m² = 10,000 cm²
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 cm² ≈ 0.15500031 in² ≈ 0.001076391 ft²
- Typical examples: postage stamp area (~4–6 cm²); PCB pad areas; small sensor cross-sections
