Product details
Overview
1N4148UBD/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified surface-mount silicon switching diode in the UB package, featuring 75 V peak reverse voltage, 200 mA average forward current, 5 ns reverse recovery time, and 4.0 pF capacitance at 0 V - used in high-frequency RS-232/RS-422 interface networks and Ethernet 10 Base-T signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4148UBD/TR datasheet, 1N4148UBD/TR pinout, 1N4148UBD/TR application, or 1N4148UBD/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/116 qualification level (JANTXV), ceramic-body thermal performance (RθJSP = 120 °C/W), unidirectional polarity, RoHS compliance, and low-profile SMT compatibility.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional fast-switching device with minimal charge storage, enabling clean transitions in digital logic and data line clamping. Its ceramic UB package supports operation from –65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature and delivers stable leakage performance (<25 nA @ 20 V, 25 °C) and low forward voltage (0.8 V @ 10 mA).
The 1N4148UBD/TR is characterized for high-speed signal integrity: reverse recovery time trr = 5 ns under IF = IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω, and capacitance remains below 4.0 pF at 0 V bias - critical for minimizing crosstalk in multi-line communication interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Reverse Voltage | 75 V - defines maximum continuous DC reverse bias before breakdown in signal line protection applications |
| Reverse Recovery Time | 5 ns - enables reliable operation up to ~70 MHz switching in data line clamping and waveform shaping |
| Capacitance @ 0 V | 4.0 pF - minimizes signal distortion and loading on high-speed digital lines such as RS-422 |
| Forward Voltage @ 10 mA | 0.8 V max - ensures low power loss and minimal voltage drop in logic-level signal steering |
| Junction Temp Range | –65 °C to +200 °C - supports deployment in extended-temperature military and aerospace environments |
| Thermal Resistance J-to-Pad | 120 °C/W - allows direct thermal path to PCB copper for sustained 200 mA operation without heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic surface-mount UB package (2-pin, unidirectional), gold-plated nickel terminals, <0.04 g weight, tape-and-reel packaging per EIA-418D. Dimensions: 2.92–3.25 mm length × 2.16–2.74 mm width × 1.17–1.42 mm height.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148W-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Commercial-grade SOD-123 package; trr = 4 ns, VF = 1.25 V @ 100 mA, no MIL spec | Limited to commercial temperature range (–65 °C to +150 °C); not qualified for defense use | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs do not require JANTXV screening or extended temp operation |
| 1N4148TR (ON Semiconductor) | DO-35 axial package; same electrical specs but higher RθJA = 500 °C/W; leaded, not SMT | Requires through-hole assembly; unsuitable for high-density PCBs or automated SMT lines | Choose only for legacy repair, prototyping, or where manual assembly and axial footprint are acceptable |
Compared with 1N4148W-7-F and 1N4148TR, the 1N4148UBD/TR uniquely combines JANTXV qualification, ceramic UB SMT packaging, and 120 °C/W thermal resistance - making it the sole option for compact, high-reliability, high-temperature military data interfaces.

FAQ
What is the qualification level of the 1N4148UBD/TR?
The 1N4148UBD/TR is qualified to MIL-PRF-19500/116 at JANTXV level, including full screening for vibration, shock, temperature cycling, and hermeticity. This certification confirms suitability for mission-critical aerospace and defense applications where failure is not an option.
Does the 1N4148UBD/TR have a common cathode or common anode configuration?
The 1N4148UBD/TR is unidirectional - meaning it has one anode and one cathode terminal, with no shared terminals. The "D" suffix in the nomenclature denotes unidirectional polarity, and the cathode is identified by a metallized band on the ceramic body per package drawing.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the 1N4148UBD/TR?
The 1N4148UBD/TR supports a junction and storage temperature range of –65 °C to +200 °C. Its ceramic UB package and gold-plated terminals enable stable performance at the full upper limit, unlike plastic-packaged alternatives limited to +150 °C.
How does the 1N4148UBD/TR compare to standard 1N4148 in DO-35 package?
The 1N4148UBD/TR retains identical electrical characteristics (VF, trr, VRWM, C) but replaces the axial DO-35 package with a ceramic surface-mount UB package. This change improves thermal dissipation (RθJSP = 120 °C/W vs. ~500 °C/W), enables automated assembly, and extends temperature capability to +200 °C.
Is the 1N4148UBD/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4148UBD/TR is RoHS compliant by design, with lead-free terminations and halogen-free materials. Compliance is verified per JEDEC J-STD-609 and documented in Microsemi's material declarations, supporting environmental requirements for global defense and industrial deployments.
