First question asked
Hello,

I would like to use an infineon 600 V Power MOSFET for building up a high voltage test equipment. If the continuous drain current (Id) rating of the switch is given as 30 A in the datasheet, can the MOSFET withstand a surge of 500 A for a few millisecond range?

Best Regards,
Gets

Hello Gets,

There is a parameter -- Id,pulse on the datasheet, please refer to the specific datasheet for this case.
