1N4148 signal diode

1N4148 diodes in DO-35 glass-encapsulated axial lead package

The 1N4148 is a standard silicon switching signal diode. It is one of the most popular and long-lived switching diodes because of its dependable specifications and low cost. Its name follows the JEDEC nomenclature. The 1N4148 is useful in switching applications up to about 100 MHz with a reverse-recovery time of no more than 4 ns.


Overview

The 1N4148 comes in a DO-35 glass package for through-hole mounting,[1][2][3] which is useful for breadboarding of circuits. Surface mount devices are available: LL4148 in MiniMELF package,[4] 1N4148W in SOD-123 package,[5] 1N4148WS in SOD-323 package,[6] 1N4148X in SOD-523 package.[7]

As the most common mass-produced switching diode, the 1N4148 replaced the older 1N914. They differ mainly in their leakage current specification at 25°C: 25 nA @ -20V vs. 5 µA @ -75V.[8] with maximum leakage for both at 150°C to be 50 µA @ -20V. Today manufacturers produce the 1N4148 and sell it as either part number.[9] It was second-sourced by many manufacturers; Texas Instruments listed their version of the device in an October 1966 data sheet.[10] These device types have an enduring popularity in low-current applications.[11][12]
