Comment on How come there are components in TO220 packages that supposedly take 100A with their small legs?

Thanks for doing the maths. I would have also guessed it's due to the short distance these amps have to travel. And in practice, we'd likely be using just the thicker parts at the top of the legs and clip most of them off, so it'd be way less than the almost 15mm in your numbers. Still probably an issue with the thickness of the pcb traces, but that's something the designer has to worry about.
