Are lugs of that type allowed by code to be used inside a switch or receptacle box?


I am not exactly sure I understand your question, but if I understand
correctly the wire broke off near the terminal screw at a switch.

If that is true, the weakness could be caused by someone using
strippers incorrectly. If they used the wrong size hole in wire
stripers this can cause a weakness.
