Industry Finding Stainless Steel Armored Pushbutton Switch Boot Useful in Prolonging Switch Life  & Reliability for HIGH-Pressure & Temperature Wash Downs & Rough Handling Conditions

IP66/68 ingress rated (with pressure range exceeding 15 psi internal and 1,500 psi external) is only part of the story. The fact that the boot’s exterior is constructed of No.300 stainless steel providing an armor plate thick enough to resist  high-pressure wash downs and high temperatures utilized in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, petrochemical processing industries, and marine, medical, construction, mining and transportation equipment. Designed to meet MIL-DTL-5423  specification rugged conditions, resistant to salt spray, sunlight, ozone weather, fungus, and most acids, detergents and lubricating oils.  UL recognized and features an operational life of 100,000 actuations.

SEALING BOOT VIDEO TUTORIAL
Body Armor for Switches — Brief tutorial video details the background for the development and varied applications of switch, circuit breaker, potentiometer and encoder environmental protection sealing boots. Types, conditions, IP ratings, UL and military specifications are reviewed. Latest sealing developments for OEM and MRO are discussed. Most importantly, this tutorial video presents  decision making information on the subject of hostile conditions and increasing electromechanical controls reliably and life expectancy.

SELF-SEALING FASTENER VIDEO
When Just Fastening Isn’t Enough — Brief tutorial video demonstrates how embedded O-Ring technology enables a standard stainless-steel fastener to become a high-pressure self-sealing fastener, that will seal up to 20,000psi (internal/external) against gas/liquid seepage. This particular “dry” one-step method is compared to other methods, including  “wet” sealant/adhesive methods using a two-step procedure, which also  exposes workers to harsh vapors and environmental disposal issues.

NEW APPLICATION IDEA
Using a SEELOC® Washer on a Hinge — Use a standard lock-nut to secure a SEELOC® High-Pressure Self-Sealing Washer. SEELOC®s work equally well as with conventional screws or bolts.
