*** Data of Figure 3 should not be used to compute surge capability. Surge limitations are given in Figure 5. They are
lower than would be expected by considering only junction temperature, as current crowding effects cause
temperatures to be extremely high in small spots resulting in device degradation should the limits of Figure. 5 be
exceeded
