APM HEXSEAL is pleased to announce the expansion of its line of high-pressure, high-temperature pushbutton switch sealing boots designed to handle external pressures to 1,500 psi (103bar), and temperatures from -80°F to +400°F (-62°C to +204°C). he external actuator mechanism is armor plated with 300 series stainless steel that protects an internal elastomeric sealing membrane conforming to A-A-59588. Manufactured to stringent specs of MIL-DTL-5423, it is IP66/68 ingress rated and UL Recognized. These harsh environment specs make it an ideal candidate for extra protection, while converting an unsealed pushbutton switch’s actuator to a rugged sealed actuator. Ideally suited for use in food, beverage, dairy and meat/fish packing processing plants, pharmaceutical and petrochemical plants, medical, military, marine and transportation equipment. Combat ready for most harsh workplaces, HEXSEAL® Armored Switch Boots are now available in two versions: p/n 1238/1SS with a .750" diameter head, and p/n 1238/5 which features an oversize 1.250" diameter head; and p/n N-1030T toggle style silicone rubber boot covered with a bonded nickel-plated brass cap. All boots operate smoothly even with a gloved hand. Free samples are available.
