Did you type 1N5008 when you meant 1N5408 yesterday?

Did you type 100 volts here when you meant 1000 volts?

The 1N5408 can be a little bulkier than the most common 1N4007 package.
I didn't have a lot of hope for the terminal strip (but I have a cigar
box full of suitable terminal strips) but I was happy to see the
terminal strip was there and the right thing.
