Re: Potential DSC Damage

Fe,
We need some pictures but I suspect there is more to this story. The PWM cable alone cannot support enough current to melt anything on the DSC. It would burn and smoke long before anything on the DSC let alone melt the solder on the pins. You are using a Spike to drive the compressor and not trying to drive it direct from the DSC correct?
