Product details
Overview
SK85CHR7G from Taiwan Semiconductor is an 8A, 50V Schottky barrier surface-mount rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, featuring low forward voltage (0.75 V at 8 A, 25°C), high surge current capability (150 A), and junction temperature rating up to +150°C. It serves as a primary output rectifier in high-frequency switching power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SK85CHR7G datasheet, SK85CHR7G pinout, SK85CHR7G application, or SK85CHR7G equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal performance data, polarity marking details, JEDEC-compliant packaging, and real-world SMPS/adapter use context - all confirmed from Taiwan Semiconductor's official L2102 specification document.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a single-die construction with guard ring structure for overvoltage protection and meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. Its 10,000 V/µs critical dV/dt rating supports fast-switching topologies without parasitic turn-on.
Thermal design is enabled by a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 20°C/W and moisture sensitivity level 1 (per J-STD-020), allowing standard reflow without dry-pack handling. The device operates across –55°C to +150°C junction range with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 solderability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 50 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in DC-DC or AC-DC secondary-side rectification |

| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms half-sine); enables robustness against line transients and startup inrush |
| VF @ 8A, 25°C | 0.75 V - Forward voltage drop; directly impacts conduction loss and efficiency in high-current SMPS outputs |
| IR @ 50V, 100°C | 10 mA - Reverse leakage at elevated temperature; affects standby power and thermal runaway risk in parallel configurations |
| RθJA | 20 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance; used to calculate temperature rise under PCB copper area constraints |
| TJ max | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature; permits operation in sealed or high-ambient industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-8EWH05FN-M3/45 | Same 8 A / 50 V rating, but TO-277 package (smaller footprint, lower RθJA = 15°C/W) | Preferred where board space is constrained and thermal performance is prioritized over legacy DO-214AB compatibility | Select if redesign allows smaller outline and tighter thermal budget; not drop-in compatible due to different pad layout |
| ON Semiconductor SB850 | Identical DO-214AB package and 8 A / 50 V rating, but VF = 0.72 V (typ) at 8 A - marginally lower conduction loss | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer adapters where 30 mV VF reduction improves efficiency certification margin | Drop-in replacement with same marking polarity and JEDEC-compliant reflow profile; verify IR spec at 100°C (12 mA max) |
Compared with VS-8EWH05FN-M3/45 and SB850, SK85CHR7G offers guaranteed 150 A surge rating and guard ring protection - critical for industrial-grade reliability where transient immunity outweighs minor VF or footprint advantages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for SK85CHR7G?
The SK85CHR7G has a maximum junction temperature (TJ max) of +150°C, validated per its absolute maximum ratings table. This rating allows continuous operation in sealed industrial enclosures or high-ambient environments where thermal derating of competing 125°C-rated Schottkys would otherwise require oversized heatsinks. The SK85CHR7G maintains full 8 A current capability up to this limit when mounted on adequate copper area.
Does SK85CHR7G have a guard ring structure, and why does it matter?
Yes, SK85CHR7G incorporates a guard ring structure explicitly stated in its features list. This design prevents premature edge breakdown under transient overvoltage conditions - such as those occurring during MOSFET switching transitions or input line surges. In practice, this extends device lifetime in flyback and LLC converters where voltage overshoot exceeds nominal VRRM, making SK85CHR7G more robust than non-guarded Schottkys like some generic 50 V SMC parts.
What is the forward voltage of SK85CHR7G at 8 A and 25°C?
The forward voltage (VF) of SK85CHR7G is 0.75 V at IF = 8 A and TJ = 25°C, per the Electrical Specifications table. This value is measured under pulse test conditions (PW = 0.3 ms) and represents typical conduction loss in steady-state operation. At higher junction temperatures (e.g., 100°C), VF decreases slightly, but system-level efficiency calculations should use the 25°C value as worst-case for thermal design margining.
Is SK85CHR7G compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, SK85CHR7G is fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes. Its matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 solderability requirements, and its DO-214AB package is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C. With moisture sensitivity level 1 (per J-STD-020), no pre-baking is required - simplifying SMT line integration and eliminating yield loss from popcorning or delamination.
How is polarity marked on SK85CHR7G?
Polarity on SK85CHR7G is indicated by a cathode band printed on the body of the DO-214AB (SMC) package - consistent with industry-standard diode marking convention. The banded end corresponds to the cathode terminal, which must be connected toward the positive output rail in rectifier applications. This marking is visible under standard AOI inspection and aligns with the pinout diagram in Taiwan Semiconductor's L2102 datasheet revision.
