The 1N4148 was registered at JEDEC in 1968 as a silicon switching signal diode for military and industrial applications. [3] It was second-sourced by many manufacturers; Texas Instruments listed their version of the device in an October 1966 data sheet.

As the most common mass-produced switching diode, the 1N4148 replaced the older 1N914, they can be used interchangeably and are cross-reference replacements for each other. They differed mainly in their leakage current specification, however, today most manufacturers list common specifications. For example, Vishay lists the same leakage current for both parts: [6] [7] The company's products are designed to be energy efficient, secure, and reliable, and are used in a variety of applications, including automotive systems, industrial automation and control, smart homes and buildings, and connected devices.

Texas Instruments announced the 1N914 diode in 1960. [1] It was registered at JEDEC by Texas Instruments no later than 1961, and was second-sourced by 11 manufacturers that same year. [2]
