Re: Jaguar Meltdown

Jim,
It would look that way but on closer examination you will see that the plastic has sufficient clearance between the FETs and the plastic to allow chips to fall into that area. Also the shroud is tapered on the bottom side so most of the pin area is exposed. The shroud only touches the board at the outer edges.
