SK85C V6G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SK85C V6G is a Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 50 V DC reverse voltage and 8 A average rectified current in a surface mount DO-214AB (SMC) package. This component is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing design and procurement requirements. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SK85C V6G is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Maximum DC reverse voltage of 50 V
• Current Rating: Average rectified current of 8 A
• Technology: Schottky diode classification
• Recovery Speed: Fast recovery characteristic ≤ 500ns at > 200mA
• Reverse Leakage: 500 µA @ 50 V
• Package: DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount configuration
• Temperature Range: Operating junction temperature -55°C to 150°C
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part SK85C meets all these parameters and is manufactured by the same supplier. The part B550C-13-F is identified as an additional substitute option within the SK85C product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SK85C (without the V6G suffix) is the primary substitute for the discontinued SK85C V6G. Both parts are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and maintain identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and compliance certifications. The SK85C is currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability (12,300 pieces), ensuring supply chain continuity.

The SK85C meets all ROHS3 compliance requirements and maintains the same MSL 1 rating, permitting unlimited shelf life storage. The forward voltage specification of 750 mV @ 8 A is provided for the active substitute, supporting detailed circuit analysis where applicable.

The B550C-13-F is listed as an additional substitute within the SK85C product family and should be evaluated based on manufacturer datasheets for complete parameter alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SK85C directly replace the SK85C V6G in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SK85C is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the SK85C V6G across all specified parameters, including voltage rating, current capacity, package type, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is product status: SK85C V6G is discontinued while SK85C remains in active production.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns when substituting the SK85C?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute use the DO-214AB (SMC) surface mount package. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The SK85C substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, identical to the discontinued SK85C V6G. REACH status is unaffected for both parts.

Q: Is the SK85C available in sufficient quantity for production requirements?

A: Yes. The SK85C substitute has 12,300 pieces in new original stock, compared to 727 pieces available for the discontinued SK85C V6G variant.

Q: What is the relationship between SK85C and B550C-13-F?

A: B550C-13-F is identified as a substitute within the SK85C product family. Complete parameter specifications for B550C-13-F should be obtained from the manufacturer to confirm full equivalence with the main part.

Q: Are there any temperature or leakage current differences between the main part and substitute?

A: No. Both parts operate across -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range and maintain 500 µA reverse leakage current @ 50 V.
