Additional Details

The SK86L typically features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 8.0A. It operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The device is commonly available in a DO-214AA (SMB) package, making it suitable for surface mount applications. Depending on the specific operating conditions, appropriate heatsinking may be required to maintain the device junction temperature within specified limits. It is often used in applications where the low forward voltage drop is more important than the reverse recovery time, differentiating it from ultrafast rectifiers.
