The "R" or "M" package rating is intended
for high surge condition use only and not
recommended for >50A rms continuous
current use since narrow pin leads depend-
ing on lead length can exceed PCB solder
melting temperature. "W" package is
recommended for >50A rms continuous
current requirements.

surge condition use only and not recommended
for >32A (AV) continuous current use since narrow
pin leads depending on lead length can exceed
PCB solder melting temperature. "W" package is
