Product details
Overview
1N4148W-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast-switching silicon signal diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 100 V peak reverse voltage, 300 mA forward current, and 4 ns reverse recovery time. It delivers low forward voltage (0.715 V at 1 mA), low junction capacitance (2 pF), and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C - widely deployed in high-speed digital logic clamping and waveform shaping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4148W-7 datasheet, 1N4148W-7 pinout, 1N4148W-7 application, or 1N4148W-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery speed, forward voltage consistency at low currents, thermal derating behavior on FR-4 PCBs, and RoHS-compliant lead-free plating compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This diode uses a planar epitaxial silicon structure optimized for rapid carrier recombination, enabling sub-4 ns reverse recovery under standardized 10 mA switching conditions (IF = IR = 10 mA, IRR = 0.1 × IR, RL = 100 Ω). Its low 2 pF capacitance at zero bias supports high-frequency signal routing without significant loading.
The SOD-123 package features matte tin-plated alloy 42 leads, J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and UL 94V-0 molded green compound - designed for reliability in reflow-soldered consumer and industrial control boards where thermal cycling and long-term parametric stability are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Withstands repetitive reverse transients up to this voltage without breakdown in signal path protection. |
| tRR | 4 ns max - Enables reliable operation in >10 MHz digital switching and pulse shaping applications. |
| VF @ 1 mA | 0.715 V max - Minimizes voltage drop and power loss in low-current logic interface clamping. |
| CT @ 0 V | 2.0 pF max - Limits capacitive loading on high-speed data lines and clock distribution networks. |
| IF | 300 mA continuous - Supports sustained current in moderate-duty switching and level translation circuits. |
| RθJA | 315 °C/W - Requires careful thermal pad design on FR-4 to maintain junction temperature below 150 °C at full load. |
| PD | 400 mW - Power dissipation limit at 25 °C ambient; derates linearly above 25 °C per Figure 1. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123 - Surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking; dimensions: L = 1.00–1.35 mm, W = 2.55–2.85 mm, H = 3.55–3.85 mm; weight ≈ 0.01 g; moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node in clamping or rectification paths; requires thermal relief on PCB for solderability. |
| Cathode (marked by band) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Serves as reference node for voltage limiting; polarity must be verified during automated placement to prevent functional failure. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast reverse recovery | 4 ns maximum ensures minimal switching distortion in 10+ MHz clock and data line conditioning. |
| Low forward voltage | 0.715 V at 1 mA enables precise TTL/CMOS input clamping without excessive DC offset. |
| Low junction capacitance | 2 pF at 0 V allows integration into RF detector front-ends and high-speed sampling circuits. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Meets RoHS 3 and IEC 61249-2-21 standards; compatible with Pb-free reflow profiles and green manufacturing requirements. |
| Wide temperature range | –55 °C to +150 °C operation supports deployment in automotive engine control modules and industrial PLC I/O stages. |
Applications
| Logic-Level Clamping | Digital Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CMOS input pins from voltage overshoot during hot-plug or ESD events in microcontroller-based peripherals. IC Role / Device Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp that conducts only when input exceeds VCC + VF, diverting transient energy to rail. Use Value: Prevents latch-up and gate oxide damage using sub-4 ns turn-on response and low 0.715 V forward threshold. | Use Scenario: Sharpening slow-rising clock edges in FPGA configuration interfaces or serial bus receivers. IC Role / Device Role: Edge accelerator via nonlinear conduction and low 2 pF capacitance to minimize signal delay skew. Use Value: Reduces rise time jitter by limiting parasitic loading while maintaining clean transition integrity. |
| High-Frequency Demodulation | Power Supply Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Envelope detection in 1–10 MHz IF stages of AM radio receivers and wireless sensor node front-ends. IC Role / Device Role: Signal rectifier with minimal stored charge, preserving modulation fidelity under small-signal AC excitation. Use Value: Delivers accurate demodulated output due to fast tRR and low VF variation across frequency. | Use Scenario: Isolating power rails during multi-voltage sequencing in embedded systems with separate 3.3 V, 1.8 V, and 1.2 V domains. IC Role / Device Role: Reverse-biased isolation diode preventing backfeed between regulators during startup/shutdown transitions. Use Value: Ensures strict sequencing compliance with 100 V VRRM margin and stable leakage (<1 µA at 75 V). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV16W-7-F | Identical SOD-123 package, same 100 V VRRM, but slightly higher typical VF (0.75 V @ 1 mA) and 5 ns tRR max. | Marginally slower recovery limits use in >8 MHz edge-shaping; otherwise interchangeable in clamping and isolation. | Select BAV16W-7-F only if legacy BOM alignment or dual-sourcing mandates identical footprint with relaxed timing tolerance. |
| 1N4148WS-7-F | SOD-323 package (smaller footprint), same electrical specs, but lower power dissipation (300 mW) and higher RθJA (400 °C/W). | Preferred for space-constrained portable designs; requires tighter thermal management on dense PCBs. | Choose 1N4148WS-7-F when board area is constrained and thermal performance can be validated per JEDEC JESD51-2. |
Compared with BAV16W-7-F and 1N4148WS-7-F, the 1N4148W-7 offers optimal balance of speed (4 ns tRR), thermal capability (400 mW PD), and manufacturability (SOD-123 handling robustness), making it the default choice for general-purpose high-speed switching where reliability and process maturity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse recovery time for the 1N4148W-7 under standard test conditions?
The maximum reverse recovery time (tRR) is 4.0 ns, measured at IF = IR = 10 mA, IRR = 0.1 × IR, and RL = 100 Ω. This value is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range and reflects worst-case performance under defined switching conditions.
Can the 1N4148W-7 be used in automotive applications?
The standard 1N4148W-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive use, Diodes specifies the 1N4148WQ-7-F variant, which is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities - the base 1N4148W-7 lacks required change control and qualification documentation.
How does the SOD-123 package affect thermal performance compared to through-hole 1N4148 variants?
The SOD-123 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 315 °C/W on standard FR-4 with 2" × 2" copper pads - significantly higher than through-hole TO-92 versions (~200 °C/W). This requires explicit thermal pad design and limits continuous power dissipation unless board-level copper area is increased.
Is the 1N4148W-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - the device uses matte tin finish over alloy 42 leadframe and is rated for lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its moisture sensitivity level is Class 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly, and its green molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating.
