RE: [TCML] CM300 with current limiting, good, bad?

[Tom Blitch <tab54o@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was interested in their faster performance. I find it weird they don't list the exact cutoff current. They must know that they are capable of handling more than the rated current for short periods. 
They are the newer ones as well and they have the newer package types. I was thinking of designing some 4 layer pcb's for them to eliminate all the buss bars. I guess that's an invitation to  try them out with limiter still connected and see how they work.
