About these units
Square Mil (mil²)
A square mil equals the area of a square one mil (0.001 inch) on each side, producing an area of one-millionth of a square inch. This tiny unit appears in microfabrication, thin-film manufacturing, and fine electronic component design. Engineers rely on mils and mil² for PCB trace design, wire bonding pads, and micro-mechanical parts. Despite modern efforts to shift toward metric units, mils remain deeply embedded in American electronics manufacturing due to legacy tooling and engineering standards.
Square Millimeter (mm²)
A square millimeter represents the area of a square measuring 1 millimeter on each side. It is a tiny unit used extensively in engineering, electronics, material science, and medical instrumentation. Mechanical designers use mm² to determine cross-sectional areas of wires, beams, micro-mechanical parts, and precision components. In electronics, PCB traces, microchips, and sensors often specify dimensions in mm² for clarity and precision. Biomedical sciences also use mm² for cell colony measurements, tissue sample surfaces, and microscopic fields of view. Its size makes it ideal for quantifying structures too small for cm² but too large for micrometer-scale units.
