I have had several push in connections fail in my house. This how the
house was constructed. The vacuum cleaner caused most of them. Of not in
the plug it was plugged into, but further "upstream" which took some
detective work to find.


They should have been pigtailed instead of daisychained.

Hello:

Have to replace a light switch.

Was wondering:

Are the switches with the push-in wire connections option as good and as
reliable
as using the conventional screw terminals ?

What's the history on re reliability, danger due to arcing, etc. ?

This would be for a simple on-off for a kitchen light.
Perhaps 300 watts or so.

Thanks,
B.
