Product details
Overview
SK86CH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a single-die, AEC-Q101-qualified Schottky barrier rectifier in DO-214AB (SMC) package, rated for 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 8 A average forward current (IF), and 150 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM); used in automotive DC/DC converters and reverse battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SK86CH datasheet, SK86CH pinout, SK86CH application, or SK86CH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 V VRRM rating, 0.75 V typical forward voltage at 8 A and 25°C, 10 mA max reverse leakage at 100°C, 125–150°C junction temperature range, and DO-214AB mechanical compatibility with high-power surface-mount layouts.
Technical Context
The SK86CH operates as a unidirectional power rectifier with low forward voltage drop optimized for high-frequency switching efficiency in automotive-grade power conversion. Its guard ring structure provides over-voltage robustness, and it meets JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.
Thermally, the device exhibits a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 20°C/W in standard PCB mounting, enabling sustained 8 A conduction without forced cooling under defined layout conditions. It supports pulse operation up to 150 A (8.3 ms half-sine) and maintains <10 mA IR at rated VR and 100°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating limit in DC/DC flyback or freewheeling paths |
| IF | 8 A - Continuous average forward current at TA = 25°C; sets baseline conduction capability for power rail rectification |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge current (8.3 ms); enables survival during load dump or inrush events |
| VF @ 8A, 25°C | 0.75 V typ - Forward voltage drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-current paths |
| IR @ 60V, 100°C | 10 mA max - Reverse leakage determines standby power loss and thermal runaway risk in hot environments |
| TJ Range | –55°C to +150°C - Extended junction temperature rating supports under-hood automotive deployment |
| RθJA | 20°C/W - Thermal resistance value used to calculate junction temperature rise under real PCB layout conditions |

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-8EWH06FN-M3/45 | Same 60 V VRRM, 8 A IF, but TO-277 package (smaller footprint, higher RθJA ≈ 28°C/W) | Preferred where board space is constrained but thermal margin allows higher junction rise | Select when footprint reduction outweighs thermal derating needs; not drop-in due to different pad layout |
| ON Semiconductor SB860-E3/45 | 60 V VRRM, 8 A IF, DO-214AB package, but VF = 0.72 V typ (slightly lower conduction loss) | Better suited for ultra-low-loss 12 V output rails where sub-30 mV VF delta improves full-load efficiency | Choose for marginal thermal designs needing lowest possible VF; identical mounting and polarity marking |
Compared with VS-8EWH06FN-M3/45 and SB860-E3/45, the SK86CH offers balanced thermal performance (20°C/W), AEC-Q101 qualification, and guard ring ruggedness-making it optimal for automotive under-hood use where reliability under surge and temperature stress is prioritized over minimal VF or smallest footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the SK86CH?
The SK86CH has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +150°C, with an operational range from –55°C to +150°C. This extended rating supports deployment in under-hood automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C. The SK86CH maintains specified electrical performance-including 10 mA max reverse leakage at 100°C-within this full range, and its thermal design must account for RθJA = 20°C/W to avoid exceeding 150°C under load.
Is the SK86CH pin-compatible with other SK8xCH series devices?
Yes, all SK8xCH devices-including SK82CH through SK810CH-share identical DO-214AB (SMC) package dimensions, pinout, and polarity marking (cathode band). The SK86CH uses the same anode/cathode terminal configuration and mechanical footprint as SK85CH and SK810CH, enabling board-level voltage scalability without layout changes. However, electrical parameters such as VRRM and VF differ per variant, so system-level validation is required when substituting.
Does the SK86CH meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the SK86CH is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the manufacturer's documentation, confirming its suitability for automotive electronic modules. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life. The SK86CH also complies with JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity-key requirements for automated SMT assembly in automotive production lines.
What is the forward voltage specification for the SK86CH at 8 A and elevated temperature?
The SK86CH specifies a typical forward voltage (VF) of 0.75 V at IF = 8 A and TJ = 25°C. At higher junction temperatures (e.g., 100°C), VF decreases slightly due to the negative temperature coefficient of Schottky diodes; however, the datasheet does not provide a guaranteed max VF at elevated temperature. Designers should use the 25°C typ value with thermal modeling to estimate actual drop under operating conditions, referencing the SK86CH's Fig.4 Typical Forward Characteristics curve.
Can the SK86CH be used in reverse battery protection without additional circuitry?
Yes, the SK86CH is commonly deployed as a series-connected reverse polarity protection diode, leveraging its 60 V VRRM and 150 A IFSM to block reverse battery connection while conducting forward current with only 0.75 V drop at 8 A. No external gate drive or control logic is needed. However, designers must verify that power dissipation (IF × VF) remains within thermal limits under worst-case ambient and airflow conditions, using the SK86CH's RθJA = 20°C/W and TJ ≤ 150°C constraints.
