overload forward current (IFM(OV))

A current whose continuous application would cause the maximum-rated virtual junction temperature to be exceeded, but that is limited in duration such that this temperature is not exceeded.

NOTE Devices may be subjected to overload currents as frequently as called for by the application while being subjected to normal operating voltages. (Ref. IEC 747-2.)
