Product details
Overview
1N4448-T from Diodes Incorporated is a fast-switching silicon epitaxial planar diode in DO-35 glass package, rated for 75 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 500 mA forward continuous current, and 4.0 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a general-purpose rectifier and signal clamping device in high-speed digital logic interfaces and low-power analog signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1N4448-T datasheet, 1N4448-T pinout, 1N4448-T application, or 1N4448-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.0 ns trr at IF = 10 mA → IR = 1 mA, 0.72 V max VFM at IF = 5.0 mA, 50 nA max IRM at VR = 20 V, DO-35 mechanical compatibility, and RoHS-compliant Sn96.5Ag3.5 termination.
Technical Context
The 1N4448-T operates as a unidirectional PN junction diode with cathode-band polarity marking. Its epitaxial planar construction enables low stored charge and rapid carrier recombination, directly supporting sub-10 ns switching transitions in TTL/CMOS interface protection and waveform shaping.
Thermal performance is defined by 300 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and a -65 °C to +175 °C operating temperature range. The device sustains 2.0 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current (t = 1.0 μs) and exhibits 4.0 pF total capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRM / VRRM | 75 V - Maximum allowable repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating margin in 5–24 V rail clamp designs. |
| IFM | 500 mA - Continuous forward current limit; supports sustained operation in low-current logic-level signal routing. |
| trr | 4.0 ns - Measured from 10 mA forward to 1 mA reverse under 6 V VR and 100 Ω load; enables use in >10 MHz clock line steering. |
| VFM (max) | 0.72 V @ IF = 5.0 mA - Forward voltage threshold defining conduction loss in low-voltage bias networks and level-shifting paths. |
| IRM (max) | 50 nA @ VR = 20 V - Reverse leakage magnitude affecting high-impedance sample-hold and sensor bias stability. |
| CT | 4.0 pF @ VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - Junction capacitance limiting high-frequency signal coupling and bandwidth in RF detector front-ends. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148-T | Lower IFM (300 mA), higher trr (4.0 ns same), identical DO-35 package | Suitable for ≤100 mA signal routing; less robust for surge-prone I/O lines | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current headroom needs. |
| BAS16W-7-F | Surface-mount SOD-123, 100 V VRRM, 250 mA IFM, 4 ns trr | Requires PCB redesign; better for automated assembly but lower surge rating | Choose for space-constrained, high-volume production where reflow compatibility is critical. |
Compared with 1N4448-T, 1N4148-T offers reduced forward current capacity but identical switching speed and package; BAS16W-7-F trades axial through-hole fit for SMT scalability at the expense of surge immunity and thermal derating margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the 1N4448-T?
The 1N4448-T has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 75 V. This value represents the highest continuous reverse-bias voltage the diode can block without entering avalanche breakdown under standard test conditions (TA = 25°C). Exceeding this rating risks irreversible junction damage.
How does the 1N4448-T differ from the 1N4148-T in forward current capability?
The 1N4448-T supports a maximum forward continuous current (IFM) of 500 mA, whereas the 1N4148-T is rated for 300 mA. This 200 mA difference reflects optimized doping and thermal design in the 1N4448-T's epitaxial structure, enabling higher sustained conduction in power-sensitive signal paths.
Is the 1N4448-T suitable for high-frequency RF detection?
Yes - with 4.0 pF junction capacitance at zero bias and 4.0 ns reverse recovery time, the 1N4448-T performs effectively in AM demodulation and RF envelope detection up to 100 MHz. Its low CT minimizes signal attenuation, and fast trr prevents distortion in modulated carrier recovery.
Does the 1N4448-T meet RoHS requirements?
Yes - the 1N4448-T features a lead-free finish compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), using Sn96.5Ag3.5 solderable terminations. Exemptions for glass encapsulation and high-temperature solder apply per Annex Notes 5 and 7 of the directive.
