Hot!

[Chuck Evans]

Doesn't look characteristic of a reflection to me. Looking at the recess of the lug you can see that it shows as one of the hottest points of the image. Cavities are good emitters and poor reflectors. If we were seeing reflected heat, the cavity would likely look cooler rather than hotter. Also the conductor insulation shows heat.

I still want to see a full frame IR image of this without the fusion.

hanks Brad, I was hoping that more of the conductor would be visible in the frame. Go with loose or high resistance connection as possible cause.
