Wrong.
1) Soldering is NOT frowned upon by alot of people around here.
2) A good solder joint is a better connection than disconnects.
Do you suppose there's a reason they don't put all the guts of a radio in with press fittings?
You dont need to make your microswitch hold up in a hurricane, just as long as the wires are touching it will work, dissconnects are fine , why dont you weld your tire on the hub so theres no chance it will ever fall off, microswitches and radios , apples and oranges.

ahofle:
Well I did take apart the switch that was bad, and I tell you it's as clean as a whistle in there, with absolutely zero oxidation. The contacts all look correct when I press the red button. I just don't get it. Andy from ultimarc mentioned that American made cherry switches succumb to this problem much more than the European ones. Anyway I ordered a bunch of replacements. I also had a friend of mine test out his buttons and he found 4 that exibited this same behavior in notepad.
Thanks again for all the help.
