[sdiy] Component leads

[harrybissell at prodigy.net]

In some circuits... steel leads are a big problem, especially high
power, high frequency circuts where induced magnetic fields can induction heat the leads. Sprague makes a cap Type 715P which specifically has COPPER leads for this application (just an example)...
