Electronic – Which diode to use on the RC switch debounce circuit

componentsdebouncediodesswitches

I am choosing parts to build an analog RC switch debounce circuit. I plan to implement the circuit described here: http://www.ganssle.com/debouncing-pt2.htm (see "An RC Debouncer").

These are the other parts I plan to use for the circuit:

What part should I buy for the diode?

(Also, please point out any other mistakes I've made if you come across them — my first time building a circuit. :3 I'm interested to see if it's a mistake to use a 1A AC/DC adapter or if my 2W resisters are correct for this circuit…)

Use a 1N4148 for the diode, assuming through-hole.

For the resistors, 1/4 W is more than adequate. The power dissipation is 25/82K = 0.3mW if you hold the switch down.

The adapter should be fine if it outputs 5V with no load (most will).
