SCR's Please Educate Me :)
Lack of experience urges me to ask this question... Silicon Controlled Rectifiers seem to be very limited in scope of application. When substituted for a mechanical magnetic relay are SCR's that...

Wanna see my pile of burned out terminal strips? Well two have melted switches the others have melted plastic around the prongs. These strips have sixteen gauge wire. Not real cool for a 1875 watt kettle.
Only ONE "switch receptacle" like what you show fits the duplex. They cannot be stacked side-by-side. I sorta know that cause there's one there now. I COULD use a six outlet power strip with TWELVE GAUGE 3 foot pigtail and velcro it to the rear of the microwave oven then start reach around behind the oven to flip switches. The appliance CORDS all do not reach the outlet. This ain't a house with countertop receptacles. Read, the SINGLE MEANING 3 holes total outlet is chest high.
My counters in Quicksilver have an outlet every 18" I'm spoiled. But I am sick of a least a dozen plugging and unpluggings every morning. Ever hold up six cords while wiping down a table?
This sounds like I am whining and I am hopefully whining LOUDLY. There has to be a better way to manage this medusa's octopus.
