but if in4148 is switching diode then how could we use it as rectifier in many powersupplies????
A diode is a diode. The term switching and rectifier refer to how the didoe is normally used in a cicuit. If you are rectifying small low current signals then you can used a 1N4148.

Can't believe the 1N914 is hard to find, it's been around for ever. I bought 1,000 for $5.00, about 4 years ago, probably still have close to 900, lifetime supply...

I use them for pretty much everything low power. Blocking diode for small solar panels, rectifier for running a microcontroller from a Joule Thief, or LEDs with the built-in flash circuits. It's a very useful part.
