milliamperes

Small current measurement units

Milliamperes are units of electric current equal to one-thousandth of an ampere.

The measurement appears in specifications for batteries, medical devices, and small electronics where full amperes would be too coarse: The device draws 500 milliamperes.

Often abbreviated mA.
