Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for 1N4148WT should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Use a verified SOD-523 1N4148WT/1N4148WT-family part; LL4148 is closest electrically but needs a new footprint.

Main risk

Package mismatch is the main risk.
