Product details
Overview
1N4148WT-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast-switching silicon signal diode in SOD523 package, rated for 100 V non-repetitive peak reverse voltage, 250 mA forward current, and 4.0 ns reverse recovery time. It delivers high conductance with VF = 0.715 V at IF = 1.0 mA and is widely used in high-speed logic clamping, waveform shaping, and general-purpose switching in compact consumer and industrial PCBs.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4148WT-7 datasheet, 1N4148WT-7 pinout, 1N4148WT-7 application, or 1N4148WT-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-small SOD523 footprint, 833 °C/W thermal resistance, 2.0 pF junction capacitance at 0 V, AEC-Q101-qualified variant (1N4148WTQ), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly under J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
The 1N4148WT-7 implements a planar epitaxial silicon PN junction optimized for rapid carrier recombination, enabling sub-5 ns reverse recovery. Its low stored charge and shallow junction depth support operation up to 100 MHz in clipping and sampling circuits.
Designed for surface-mount reliability, it uses matte tin–annealed Alloy 42 leads and green molding compound (UL 94V-0), with cathode band polarity marking and 0.0014 g mass - critical for high-density portable electronics where board space and thermal mass are constrained.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Logic Signal Clamping | Digital Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Preventing overvoltage on microcontroller GPIO pins during hot-plug or ESD events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148W-7 (Diodes Inc.) | SOD-323 package (1.7 mm × 1.25 mm); 500 mW PD; RθJA = 400 °C/W | Larger footprint but higher power handling; better thermal performance in moderate-current apps | Select when >150 mA average current or >100 mW dissipation is expected |
| BAT54C-7-F (Diodes Inc.) | Dual common-cathode Schottky; VF = 0.33 V @ 10 mA; tRR not specified (inherently faster) | Lower VF improves efficiency in low-voltage biasing; dual configuration saves space in paired functions | Select for <3.3 V systems requiring minimal forward drop or dual-diode topology |
Compared with 1N4148W-7 and BAT54C-7-F, the 1N4148WT-7 uniquely balances ultra-miniaturization (SOD523), predictable 4.0 ns switching, and robust 100 V VRM - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-frequency signal routing where thermal load is light and silicon junction behavior is preferred over Schottky leakage trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for the 1N4148WT-7?
The 1N4148WT-7 is rated for 250 mA non-repetitive peak forward current and 125 mA average rectified output current. Its 150 mW power dissipation limit and 833 °C/W thermal resistance mean sustained 125 mA operation requires careful PCB copper area design to avoid exceeding the -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range.
Is the 1N4148WT-7 suitable for automotive applications?
The standard 1N4148WT-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. However, the functionally identical 1N4148WTQ-7 variant is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities - making it the approved choice for automotive infotainment, body control, and ADAS subsystems requiring change-controlled components.
How does the SOD523 package affect PCB layout and reflow compatibility?
The SOD523 package (1.25 mm × 0.85 mm) requires precise stencil aperture design and alignment for reliable solder paste deposition. Its J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity eliminates bake requirements, and its matte tin–annealed leads ensure compatibility with standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles without dewetting or voiding when using recommended pad dimensions (G = 0.80 mm, X = 0.60 mm).
What is the typical reverse recovery time and how is it measured?
The 1N4148WT-7 has a typical reverse recovery time (tRR) of 4.0 ns, measured under standardized conditions: IF = IR = 10 mA, IRR = 0.1 × IR, RL = 100 Ω. This value reflects the time required for minority carriers to clear the junction after forward conduction, directly impacting performance in high-frequency switching and pulse edge fidelity.
