0 Speedskater Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The above dual receptacle has high-tech back-stab connections (very different from low-tech, low budget, spring-loaded back-stab connections). These high-tech back-stab connections would be my first choice. It's hard to get them wrong. Connections wrapping the wire around the screw or crimp-on lugs can and do go wrong. Link to comment

Yes, back-stab connectors on bottom shelf receptacles are bad news. But while the back holes in the above receptacles appear to be back-stabs, they are not. They are alignment holes for the side-mount screw connectors. Several good manufactures make this style top shelf receptacle. This style is my first choice. Link to comment
