The Great Search: 1N4148 Signal Diodes in DO-35 and SOD-123 #TheGreatSearch #DigiKey @DigiKey

The Great Search (video) is here to help you find the best parts via Digi-Key!

Looking at a lot of keyboard kits, we noticed that many use a diode key-matrix to connect lots of keys without a ghosting effect. We should probably source long tape strips of 1N4148s for folks making keyboards and key matrices! Let’s talk about 1N4148s in two packages – DO-35 (classic glass) and SOD-123 as seen on a keyboard we purchased.
