Can it be replaced directly?
Direct replacement for 1N4148 should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Best replacement path
Use a DO-35 1N4148 equivalent for no-board-change needs; use LL4148 only for SMD redesign review.
Main risk
Package mismatch and recovery-time differences.
