Product details
Overview
1N4148UB/TR from Microsemi is a military-qualified surface-mount silicon switching diode in 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 interface networks and Ethernet 10 Base-T data lines.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4148UB/TR datasheet, 1N4148UB/TR pinout, 1N4148UB/TR application, or 1N4148UB/TR equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-PRF-19500/116 qualification level (JAN/JANTX/JANTXV), low-profile ceramic packaging, unidirectional polarity, thermal resistance of 120 °C/W junction-to-solder pad, and RoHS-compliant construction.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional signal-level switching device with fast transient response, optimized for high-speed digital and communication line protection. Its ceramic UB package enables stable operation from –65 °C to +200 °C junction temperature and supports reliable solder-pad thermal dissipation.
The 1N4148UB/TR exhibits 0.8 V forward voltage at 10 mA and 1.2 V at 100 mA, with reverse leakage limited to 25 nA at 20 V and 0.5 µA at 75 V (25 °C); capacitance drops from 4.0 pF (0 V) to 2.8 pF (1.5 V), supporting RF-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications

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.) | Plastic SOD-123 package; 100 V V(BR); 4 ns trr; 4 pF C; commercial-grade only | Lacks MIL-PRF-19500/116 qualification and ceramic hermeticity | Select when cost-sensitive commercial designs prioritize speed over environmental robustness |
| NSR0230HT1G (ON Semiconductor) | Schottky architecture; 30 V VRWM; 0.3 V VF; no reverse recovery; 10 pF C | Lower VF but higher capacitance and reduced reverse voltage rating | Select for ultra-low-loss 3.3 V logic clamping where reverse blocking >30 V is not required |
Compared with 1N4148UB/TR, the 1N4148W-7-F offers faster trr but lacks military qualification and ceramic reliability, while the NSR0230HT1G eliminates reverse recovery entirely but sacrifices reverse voltage headroom and increases capacitive loading - making 1N4148UB/TR optimal for MIL-spec, high-VR, low-C signal routing.

FAQ
What is the qualified reliability level for the 1N4148UB/TR?
The 1N4148UB/TR is qualified per MIL-PRF-19500/116 at JAN, JANTX, and JANTXV levels - verified through rigorous screening including temperature cycling, burn-in, and lot acceptance testing. Each 1N4148UB/TR unit carries full traceability documentation and conforms to military-grade quality assurance protocols defined in the specification.
Does the 1N4148UB/TR have a specified forward voltage at 100 mA?
Yes, the 1N4148UB/TR has a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 100 mA forward current and 25 °C, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of Microsemi T4-LDS-0281-2. This value ensures predictable power dissipation in high-duty-cycle clamping applications and is validated across the full qualified temperature range.
Is the 1N4148UB/TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, the 1N4148UB/TR is RoHS compliant by design, containing no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBBs, or PBDEs - fully aligned with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Compliance is documented in Microsemi's material declarations and supported by manufacturing process controls verified during qualification.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-solder pad for the 1N4148UB/TR?
The 1N4148UB/TR has a thermal resistance of 120 °C/W from junction to solder pad (RθJSP), measured under standard PCB mounting conditions per Figure 2 in T4-LDS-0281-2. This parameter enables accurate thermal modeling for high-density layouts where heat removal via solder pads is critical to maintaining the –65 to +200 °C junction operating range.
Can the 1N4148UB/TR be used in place of axial-leaded 1N4148-1 in SMT designs?
Yes, the 1N4148UB/TR is the surface-mount ceramic equivalent of the JEDEC-registered 1N4148, designed specifically to replace axial-leaded variants like 1N4148-1 in space-constrained, high-reliability SMT assemblies. Its UB package maintains identical electrical characteristics while delivering enhanced thermal and mechanical stability over the DO-35 version.
