Product details
Overview
1N4148UBCD from Microsemi is a military-qualified surface-mount silicon switching diode in a ceramic UB package, featuring 75 V working peak reverse voltage, 200 mA average rectified current at 75 °C, 5 ns reverse recovery time, and 4.0 pF capacitance at 0 V - used in high-frequency RS-232/RS-422 interfaces and Ethernet 10 Base-T data lines.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4148UBCD datasheet, 1N4148UBCD pinout, 1N4148UBCD application, or 1N4148UBCD equivalent, this page delivers verified military-grade diode specifications, polarity options (including common anode), thermal resistance (120 °C/W junction-to-solder pad), RoHS compliance status, and direct alternatives for MIL-PRF-19500/116-compliant designs.
Technical Context
This diode implements a planar-diffused silicon PN junction optimized for fast unidirectional signal switching in harsh environments. Its ceramic UB package provides hermetic sealing and thermal stability across –65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature range, with gold-plated terminals ensuring reliable solderability and corrosion resistance.
Electrical behavior is defined by low forward voltage (0.8 V @ 10 mA), minimal reverse leakage (25 nA @ 20 V), and tightly controlled capacitance (4.0 pF @ 0 V, 2.8 pF @ 1.5 V), enabling stable performance in >10 MHz digital signal paths without parasitic loading.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148UBC | Ceramic lid variant (UBC) with identical electrical specs but different mechanical sealing method | Preferred where lid-based hermeticity verification is required per MIL-STD-883 test methods | Select 1N4148UBC when lid seal integrity must be independently validated beyond standard UB qualification |
| 1N4148UB2 | Same die in 2-pin surface-mount UB2 package; identical trr, VF, and capacitance; slightly larger footprint (3.25 mm × 2.74 mm vs. 3.25 mm × 2.74 mm - same L/W, different terminal geometry) | Used in legacy board designs with wider pad spacing or automated optical inspection constraints | Choose 1N4148UB2 only if existing stencil or placement tooling requires UB2 land pattern compatibility |
Compared with 1N4148UBCD, the 1N4148UBC offers enhanced lid-seal verification for mission-critical hermeticity, while 1N4148UB2 maintains full electrical equivalence with minor mechanical layout adaptation - neither is pin-compatible due to distinct terminal configurations within the UB family.

FAQ
What is the reverse recovery time specification for the 1N4148UBCD?
The 1N4148UBCD has a reverse recovery time (trr) of 5 ns under standard test conditions (IF = IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω). This value is measured per Microsemi T4-LDS-0281-2 and confirms its suitability for high-speed digital signal routing up to 10 MHz. The 1N4148UBCD achieves this performance through optimized silicon doping and junction geometry, not external circuitry.
Is the 1N4148UBCD RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4148UBCD is RoHS compliant by design per Microsemi documentation T4-LDS-0281-2 Rev. 1. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) above threshold limits. Compliance applies to both the silicon die and the ceramic UB package materials.
What polarity options are available for the 1N4148UBCD?
The 1N4148UBCD is supplied as a unidirectional device (no suffix), but Microsemi's 1N4148UB family includes CA (common anode), CC (common cathode), and D (doubler) variants. The 1N4148UBCD itself is unidirectional - Pad 1 is anode, Pad 2 is cathode - and does not support internal dual-diode configurations.
Does the 1N4148UBCD meet MIL-PRF-19500/116 requirements?
Yes, the 1N4148UBCD is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/116 at JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV reliability levels. This includes environmental stress screening, burn-in, and parametric testing per the specification. Qualification is documented in Microsemi's T4-LDS-0281-2 datasheet and supported by traceable lot-level certification.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to solder pad for the 1N4148UBCD?
The 1N4148UBCD has a thermal resistance of 120 °C/W from junction to solder pad (RӨJSP), as specified in the "Maximum Ratings" table of T4-LDS-0281-2. This value enables effective passive heat transfer to PCB copper planes and is critical for maintaining junction temperature below 200 °C during 200 mA operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
