If your 100A surge is limited in duration, that product might work
just fine.

If this circuit really does rectify the AC power line the
instantaneous fault current is somewhere over 5000A. This is no place
to push the component specs.


OP stated he needed a component to satisfy the demands of a 100A surge.
According to the specifications, as I specified in a reply which was longer
than the short section which you quoted above, the part he suggested might
work, depending upon the duration of the 100A surge.

As to a 5000A surge, that was not mentioned by the OP as a design criteria.
