I am intrigued by this HiPerFET module, both in it's capacity and the kelvin terminal which bewilders me. I have tried to find some info on the kelvin terminal, but have found nothing that really clears it up for me. I was told that it is supposed to eliminate or reduce (which is it?) inductance but Some are calling it a current sense terminal, unless that is something else entirely...? I am not sure how it is supposed to work; according the (assumed severely oversimplified) internal diagram in the datasheet it is directly connected to the regular source terminal, so if you were to use it, you would create a ground loop. is this the case?

by use of this kelvin terminal, would it eliminate the pesky different on/off switching times often encountered when paralleling MOSFETS? Consider if I wanted to parallel 2 or 3 of these modules and use different length wires to each gate & kelvin terminal, could I get away with that?

The connections on the drain & source look exceptionally beefy; also arranged in such a way that it would be so simple to bolt a bus bar across 2 or 3 of them. do you think the connections and the silicon dies are actually rated for 580A? I.E. do you think I could actually get the rated 200V@580A out of them unlike other MOSFETS that specify amperages higher than their dinky little legs can handle?
