A 10-pack of 1N4148 small signal diodes — one of the most commonly used switching diodes in electronics. Designed for fast switching and small signal rectification rather than power applications, with a reverse recovery time of just 4 ns.

Key Features

  • Fast Switching – 4 ns reverse recovery time for high-frequency circuits
  • Small Signal Use – Rated for 200 mA forward current (not for power rectification)
  • 100 V Reverse Voltage – Suitable for most signal-level applications
  • ~0.7 V Forward Drop – Standard silicon diode characteristics

Specifications

  • Part Number: 1N4148
  • Max Forward Current: 200 mA
  • Peak Reverse Voltage: 100 V
  • Forward Voltage Drop: ~0.7 V (typical)
  • Reverse Recovery Time: 4 ns
  • Package: DO-35 (axial)

Common Applications

  • Signal rectification and clamping
  • Logic gate protection
  • Switching circuits
  • Demodulation and detection

Package Contents

  • 10× 1N4148 signal diodes

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

Axial
Axial components have one lead coming out of each end, so they lie flat or span holes on a circuit board or breadboard. This matters when checking whether the resistor will physically fit your prototyping or through-board assembly method.
Forward voltage drop
Forward voltage drop is the small amount of voltage lost across a diode or diode-like circuit when current flows through it. A lower drop is important because it wastes less power and helps keep the rest of the project supplied with enough voltage.
