1N4148 signal diode
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
As the most common mass-produced switching diode, the 1N4148 replaced the older 1N914. They differed mainly in their leakage current specification, however, today most manufacturers list common specifications. For example, Vishay[1] [2] lists the same leakage current for both parts:
- 25 nA at -20 V, 25°C
- 5 µA at -75 V, 25°C
- 50 µA at -20 V, 150°C
Today manufacturers produce the 1N4148 and sell it as either part number.[3] It was second-sourced by many manufacturers; Texas Instruments listed their version of the device in an October 1966 data sheet.[4] These device types have an enduring popularity in low-current applications.[5][6]
The JEDEC registered part numbers 1N4148 and 1N914 are diodes in an axial package. Diodes with similar properties are available in surface-mount packages.
