The MUR860 can operate safely between -65°C to 175°C, but the recommended operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C for optimal performance.
To ensure proper soldering, use a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a small amount of solder to the anode and cathode pins. Avoid applying excessive heat or pressure, which can damage the device.
Store the MUR860 in a dry, cool place with a temperature range of 5°C to 30°C and relative humidity below 60%. Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
While the MUR860 is suitable for high-frequency applications, its performance may degrade above 1 MHz. For frequencies above 1 MHz, consider using a faster switching diode or a Schottky diode.
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, use an ESD wrist strap or mat, and handle the device by the body or pins, avoiding direct contact with the die. Store the device in an ESD-protected package or bag when not in use.
