QDX: Adding a 1N4148 across L14


 

I have four QDX's and I've decided to add a 1N4148 across L14 as many other have done here to add some protection against accidental high SWR.??
?
Digikey lists several versions, including a 100V 200ma version and a 75V 300ma version.? Is one better than the other for this application?
?
Best,

It should not matter. The reverse voltage is less than either value, and the forward current is very short in duration. The 1n4148 is the best choice because of the junction's switching speed. I would go with the least expensive, most available device.
