1N4148W-E3-08

Single Diodes Overview

The Vishay 1N4148W-E3-08 is a silicon epitaxial planar small signal fast switching diode housed in an SOD-123 surface-mount package. It supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a continuous forward current of 300 mA. The device features a low reverse recovery time of 4 ns, ensuring rapid switching performance. Electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.2 V at 100 mA and a leakage current of 1 µA at 75 V reverse bias. Operating junction temperatures range from -55 °C to +150 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast switching capability with a reverse recovery time of 4 ns
• Silicon epitaxial planar construction for reliable operation
• RoHS-compliant commercial grade manufacturing

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification
• High-speed switching circuits
• Clamping and protection applications

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging options and minimum order quantities. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS compliance standards for your assembly process. Ensure the selected tape and reel dimensions match your automated pick-and-place equipment specifications before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard small-signal diode requires fast switching speeds within a compact SOD-123 footprint. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy through-hole variants where board space is constrained. Verify that the 100 V reverse voltage rating aligns with the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the 1N4148 family of small signal switching diodes manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes the E3 suffix to denote lead-free and RoHS compliance. The -08 suffix specifically identifies the 3,000-unit tape and reel packaging configuration on a 7-inch reel.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 1N4148WS-G3-08 (SOD-323 package) and the 1N4448W-E3-08 (higher surge current). Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance differences when transitioning between packages.
