Re: Losing Jaguars? What are the common reasons why it burns out?

We had one go out that was connected to a motor with a loose connector. Our EE surmised that the Jaguar did not like it's load cutting in and out due to the loose connection. We secured the motor connector and the replacement Jaguar held up for the rest of our pre-ship practices. We're careful about covering our electronics up if any metal cutting is going on.
