Product details
Overview
1N4448HWT from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast-switching silicon signal diode in SOD523 package, rated for 80 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 250 mA forward current, and 4.0 ns reverse recovery time. It delivers high conductance with VF = 0.62 V at IF = 5 mA and low junction capacitance (CT ≤ 3.0 pF), enabling use in high-speed digital logic clamping and waveform shaping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4448HWT datasheet, 1N4448HWT pinout, 1N4448HWT application, or 1N4448HWT equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-fast trr, low forward voltage at low currents, minimal parasitic capacitance, thermal derating behavior up to +150°C, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on FR-4 boards.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional, low-capacitance switching element optimized for signal integrity in high-frequency digital systems. Its 4.0 ns reverse recovery time and 3.0 pF total capacitance support clean edge transitions in 10–50 MHz clock distribution and data line protection.
The device uses an alloy-42 leadframe with matte tin plating, achieving 833 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR-4 layout. Its -55°C to +150°C operating range and AEC-Q200-compatible construction make it suitable for automotive body electronics and industrial control I/O conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRM / VRRM | 100 V / 80 V - supports transient suppression up to 100 V non-repetitive, safe DC blocking to 80 V in continuous operation |
| IFM | 250 mA - sufficient for logic-level signal routing and low-power clamp duty without thermal runaway |
| trr | 4.0 ns - enables reliable switching in >25 MHz digital waveforms without tail current distortion |
| VF @ 5 mA | 0.62 V - minimizes voltage drop in bias networks and level-shifting paths |
| CT @ 0.5 V | ≤3.0 pF - preserves signal rise/fall times in high-speed data lines and RF detector inputs |
| RθJA | 833 °C/W - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained layouts |
| TJ Range | -55°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
Pinout & Package

Applications
| High-Speed Logic Clamping | Digital Signal Conditioning |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CMOS input pins from overshoot/undershoot during hot-plug or ESD events in FPGA I/O banks. IC Role / Device Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp limiting voltage excursions to ±0.7 V beyond supply rails. Use Value: 4.0 ns trr prevents latch-up by clearing stored charge before next logic edge; 3.0 pF CT avoids degrading 100 Mbps signal integrity. | Use Scenario: Sharpening slow-rising clock edges from microcontroller GPIO outputs driving multiple loads. IC Role / Device Role: Edge accelerator via nonlinear conduction that clips negative swing and accelerates positive transition. Use Value: Low VF (0.62 V @ 5 mA) and fast turn-off minimize added jitter; SOD523 size allows placement directly at load input. |
| Automotive Body Control I/O | Industrial Sensor Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Input protection for LIN bus transceiver enable pins exposed to load-dump transients in door module ECUs. IC Role / Device Role: Reverse-polarity and overvoltage clamp on 12 V supply-sensed control lines. Use Value: 80 V VRRM withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (−100 V); -55°C to +150°C rating matches under-dash thermal profile. | Use Scenario: Overvoltage suppression on analog output lines of 4–20 mA current-loop sensors in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role: Bidirectional transient suppressor across signal and return paths using back-to-back configuration. Use Value: Matched VF and trr ensure symmetrical clamping response; RoHS 3 compliance meets EU industrial equipment directives. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAT54CWT-7 | Schottky architecture; VF = 0.33 V @ 10 mA; trr not specified (inherently faster); VR = 30 V | Limited to ≤30 V systems; better for low-VF bias but unsuitable for 80 V clamping | Select when forward loss dominates design and reverse voltage stays below 30 V |
| 1N4148W-7-F | Same silicon process but SOD-123 package; VF = 0.72 V @ 10 mA; trr = 4.0 ns; VR = 100 V | Larger footprint (2.7 mm × 1.6 mm); 2.2× higher RθJA (1800 °C/W) | Choose only if legacy SOD-123 layout reuse is required and thermal margin permits |
Compared with BAT54CWT-7 and 1N4148W-7-F, the 1N4448HWT uniquely balances 80 V blocking, 4.0 ns switching, and SOD523 miniaturization-making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-voltage digital interface protection where Schottky leakage or larger packages are unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage the 1N4448HWT can block continuously?
The 1N4448HWT has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 80 V, meaning it can continuously block up to 80 V DC or sinusoidal reverse voltage without breakdown. Its non-repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRM) is 100 V, allowing brief transient tolerance beyond the continuous rating.
Is the 1N4448HWT suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-the 1N4448HWT is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for passive components. Its -55°C to +150°C operating range, lead-free/halogen-free construction, and robust thermal performance make it qualified for under-hood and body-control module use.
How does the SOD523 package affect thermal performance?
The SOD523 package delivers 833 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when mounted on FR-4 with Diodes' recommended pad layout. Its small size limits absolute power dissipation (PD = 150 mW), so designers must observe the derating curve-e.g., max 100 mW at +85°C ambient-to avoid exceeding TJ = +150°C.
Can the 1N4448HWT replace the 1N4148 in existing designs?
It can replace the through-hole 1N4148 in new SMT designs, but not as a direct drop-in due to different package (SOD523 vs. DO-35) and slightly lower VF (0.62 V vs. 0.72 V @ 5 mA). Electrical specs are closely matched (same trr = 4.0 ns, VRRM = 80 V), but layout redesign and requalification are required for SMT implementation.
