1N4148 High-Speed Switching Diode – 100V 200mA Through Hole (DO-35)
The 1N4148 is a small-signal, high-speed silicon switching diode in the DO-35 glass package. With a peak reverse voltage of 100V and a forward current of 200mA, it is optimised for fast switching applications where recovery time is critical — making it a staple in digital and RF circuits worldwide.
Key Specifications
- Package: DO-35 (Through Hole, Glass)
- Peak Reverse Voltage: 100V
- Forward Current: 200mA
- Forward Voltage: ~0.7V at 10mA
- Reverse Recovery Time: 4ns max
- Power Dissipation: 500mW
- Operating Temperature: −65°C to +175°C
Compatibility & Use Cases
The 1N4148 is used extensively in circuits alongside Arduino, ESP32, and other microcontrollers for signal-level switching and protection. Common applications include:
- Logic signal clipping and clamping circuits
- Flyback protection for relay coils and inductive loads
- Demodulation and envelope detection in RF circuits
- Voltage reference and level-shifting circuits
- Waveform shaping and peak detection
Its ultra-fast 4ns recovery time makes it far superior to rectifier diodes like the 1N4007 for high-frequency switching tasks.
