Content for 1N914

1N914

The 1N914 is a small signal diode which can handle low voltage and low current. The diode can switch at high speed and hence normal used in switching applications and not in rectifier applications. For 1N914 Diode, the maximum current carrying capacity is 300mA it can withstand peaks up to 4A. The specialty of this diode is its fast recovery time of 8ns at a forward current of 10mA, hence this diode is used in places where fast switching are involved. The diode is very similar to the 1N4148 Diode except that this diode can withstand high reverse currents.
