Overview of 1N4148W
1N4148W is a high-speed switching diode, Due to its fast switching speed and small size, it is widely used in many electronic devices. 1N4148W is usually packaged in SOD-123, which is a surface mount package suitable for automated assembly.
Working Principle
The working principle of 1N4148W is based on the characteristics of PN junction. When forward biased, electrons flow from the N region to the P region, and holes flow from the P region to the N region, which reduces the thickness of the PN junction region and forms a conductive path; when reverse biased, electrons and holes are subject to the strong depletion electric field of the PN junction region, making it difficult to flow, forming a high resistance state, and the diode is in the cut-off state.
