Can I replace a 1N4148 diode with a 1N4007?


My PC game controller broke and since I have some old PS1 controllers I was thinking about converting one to PC. After some googling I found all I need is a parallel port plug and some 1N4148 diodes. But I live in a small town in the mountains and is not easy for me to get new components, I was wondering if the 1N4007 diodes I have could replace the 1N4148.

Answer



The 1N4007 is physically bigger and designed for higher current and voltage loads than the 1N4148, but in this case it should be a suitable replacement.
