1N4148WS T4 SOD-323 fast Switching Diode
The 1N4148WS T4 SOD-323 Patch Switching Diode is a compact, high-speed silicon switching diode designed for signal switching, digital circuits, protection circuits, and other high-frequency electronic applications. Its small SOD-323 surface-mount package makes it suitable for space-constrained PCB designs and automated SMT assembly.
The 1N4148WS is a single switching diode with a typical reverse recovery time of up to 4 ns, making it useful where fast switching performance is important. Common specifications for the T4-marked versions include a 75 V maximum DC reverse voltage, 100 V peak reverse voltage, 150 mA average rectified forward current, and 200 mW power dissipation, depending on the manufacturer and exact datasheet revision.
For Bangladeshi electronics students, engineers, PCB designers, repair technicians, hobbyists, and makers, this diode is a practical choice for compact signal-level switching and general-purpose high-speed diode applications.

Specifications can vary slightly between manufacturers selling the 1N4148WS under the same part number, so the manufacturer's datasheet should be checked before designing around absolute maximum ratings.
SOD-323 Package and Polarity:
The 1N4148WS T4 uses the SOD-323 two-terminal surface-mount package. The package is designed for compact PCB layouts and automated placement. Some manufacturer datasheets specify approximately 2.5 × 1.25 × 0.9 mm package dimensions, although dimensions can vary slightly by manufacturer.
The band/marked end indicates the cathode. Always verify the manufacturer's package drawing when replacing an SMD diode because visual markings and footprints can differ between suppliers.
Pin Configuration:
| Pin | Connection |
| 1 | Cathode (K) |
| 2 | Anode (A) |
The cathode is normally identified by the diode's marking/band. Some datasheets show the SOD-323 orientation with pin 1 as cathode and pin 2 as anode.
