The Semikron SKN 60F17 M8 is an 1.7kV, 1.75V, 60A stud rectifying diode, housed in a DO203AB package with an anode stud, and an M8 screw. It is a high power rectifying diode suitable for various applications such as motor controllers, welding, traction, AC/DC converters, power supplies, and more. The diode features a low on-state voltage and temperature-compensated performance. It is built with high energy blocking capability so it can operate in high current environments at high load cycles. A common and useful feature of the SKN60F17 M8 is its built-in current sensing capability with a copper tab for co-location.
