Why hostile switch environment

protection is needed

Unsealed switches are internally suscep-

tible to damage and shorting from water,

lubricants, dust, dirt, sand, salt spray,

corrosive atmospheres, fungus and other

damaging contaminants. Even factory

sealed switch function is susceptible to ice

and dust build-up. And, all switch panel-

mounting cutouts are vulnerable to

contaminant seepage including spilled soft

drinks, coffee, etc. APM’s UL-recognized

HEXSEAL®and E-SEEL®sealing boots

provide complete and reliable, cost-

effective, long-term protection.

How HEXSEAL

& E-SEEL

Boots protect

Working closely with switch, potentiometer

and circuit breaker manufacturers and users

for more than 60 years, APM has developed

an extensive line of tough, pliant silicone

rubber (other materials available for specific

environments) panel seals that function

harmoniously with the switch’s manual and

automatic operation and position status

viewing. Our panel seals are UL 50 tested

and Recognized. In this age of recalls and

expensive field servicing, installing a

HEXSEAL boot is the most effective and

least expensive way to protect and guard

against switch, circuit breaker and

potentiometer failures.

mechanisms from degradation due to

harsh environments such as salt air/water,

oils, dust and ice.

Features & Benefits

RUGGED HEXSEAL®boots are used

for controls protection in industrial, manu-

facturing and processing plants — hostile

conditions which are dusty, dirty, greasy

and corrosive.

EXTREME HEXSEAL®boots will

protect switches and keep them

functioning to temperatures down to

-94°F (-70°C).

RELIABLE Surgery rooms and food

processing plants require frequent wash

downs. Their switches benefit from

HEXSEAL®IP66-68 Rated boots by main-

taining dry, clean reliable performance.

•Designed and made in USA … to insure high, consistent

quality with local full tech service backup.

•Exclusive UL-Recognized HEXSEAL®& E-SEEL®Boots

… facilitate easier “agency approval” of the equipment in

which they are used. No other competitive seals in the world

have these approvals.

•Third party inspection … UL regularly inspects our facili-

ties and products.

•Military Specifications … most HEXSEAL®Boots are

produced to meet MIL-DTL-5423 (see product pages speci-

fication charts).

•Time Tested … since our original patents and for more than

60 years, millions of HEXSEAL®Boots reliably function in

hostile conditions throughout the world.

•Transparent RUBRGLAS®(indicators) rugged silicone

rubber material … resists tearing and most hostile environ-

mental contaminants. Retains tactile feel, will not discolor,

yellow, crack or dry out due to UV/aging.

•Choose precise boot color for color matching … to match

panel and/or delineate function – identification.

•DFARS compliant

•RoHS compliant … per document 2002/95/EC

•Patented perimeter sealing rib … seals the switch/circuit

breaker panel-mounting cutout, preventing contaminant

seepage.

•Toggle actuated boots feature secondary inner seal …

to protect against contaminant entry in the event the upper

chamber portion is punctured. And, also protects against

differential pressure. (See figure 4.)

•All toggle and pushbutton boots feature high-strength

rubber-to-metal bond … cross-linking adhesion assures

rubber will not separate from the mounting nut.

•Pre-lubricated (optional) half-toggle and full-toggle boots

… assure easier installation on large diameter actuators.

•Custom design requirements welcome … in addition to

standard products described in this catalog, APM provides

technical design assistance with fast, economical prototyping.

protection …

Nautilus®design protective chamber

with secondary inner seal

The cut-a-way of the boot shown contains an integral secondary seal (Fig. 1) that provides additional protection against

differential pressure (inside equipment vs atmospheric) that compresses/seals the toggle-actuator. The secondary chamber also

creates a second-barrier should the top half be breached or compromised in any way. All HEXSEALS and E-SEELS also feature

our patented flange sealing rib to prevent leakage from seeping past the mounting hole.

Two mounting methods are offered. Our standard bonded nickel-plated brass mounting-nut which replaces the switches original

exterior mounting-nut (which is discarded) and an optional method that uses a bonded aluminum IQ Concentro-Nut™(Fig. 2) that

fits over the original switch exterior mounting nut. The Concentro-Nut option is ideal for maintenance servicing applications

where minimum switch disturbance is desirable.

The switch mounting holes on hermetically sealed switches also need environmental panel protection from possible contaminant

seepage, i.e., moisture, dust, spilled coke and coffee, etc. For this reason, APM has developed a bonded silicone rubber-stainless

steel switch bushing seal (Fig. 3). This special seal, specifically designed for hermetically sealed switches, is superior to ordinary

O-rings or washers and meets the stringent requirements of MIL-DTL-5423/16-01, MS 25196, and is a UL recognized component.

(e.g., switches, circuit breakers, potentiometers, panel

meters) that mates with and will provide a number of benefits

consistent with design considerations that comply with MIL-

DTL-5423 specifications. Originally designed for U.S. military

naval applications — rugged handling (with and without

gloves), corrosive atmospheres, lubricant contact, frequent

wash-downs — these sealing boots have repeatedly proven

their battle-tested worthiness. By supporting all the major

manufacturers of switches, potentiometers, and circuit break-

ers, the same protection and reliability are available for a

wide spectrum of commercial and industrial switches

through the APM HEXSEAL®and E-SEEL®sealing boot

system. The following reference data and cross reference

charts should be helpful in making your selection, however

please do not hesitate to contact our sales support depart-

ment for assistance.

Enclosure Ratings

To cost-effectively satisfy this application diversity, manu-

facturers of electrical/electronic equipment enclosures offer

a range of products which provide varying degrees of envi-

ronmental protection. In the interest of “standardizing” an

electrical enclosure’s performance, standards-making organ-

izations such as NEMA, UL, CSA, and IEC have established

various standards (Table 1).

Use of NEMA ratings does not require independent testing.

Compliance is left to the manufacturer. On the other hand, UL

conducts an independent evaluation of the submitted product.

Tests are performed either at UL’s laboratories or witnessed by

UL engineers at the manufacturer’s location. In addition, UL

requires follow-up inspections (which may include testing) to

assure adherence to prescribed materials and manufacturing

procedures.

These ratings provide a quantitative measure of an enclo-

sure’s ability to operate in the environment in which it will be

used. Each rating defines the degree of protection against

rain, snow, sleet, wind-blown dust, hosedown, corrosive

agents, and occasional submersion.

While the detailed wording of ratings from standard to stan-

dard varies, each is based on similar application descriptions

and performance expectations (Table 2). For example, an

enclosure meeting UL Standard 50, Type 6 ratings (and simi-

larly NEMA Standard No. 250, Type 6) is designed for indoor

and outdoor use. It provides the degree of protection against

hosedown, icing, dust, and the entry of water during temporary

submersion at the limited depth required for this rating.

Code). This standard defines protection against hazardous

contact by personnel and by entry of solids and liquids.

Requirements for protection against corrosion and other

in-use conditions are covered by the IEC standard for the

overall product or by requirement specified by the user.

Within this context, Hexseals®and E-Seels®

would have the following Maximum IP Rating:

A dual IP code rating indicates protection against both

water jets and water submersion. Rating a product for water

immersion (“7” or “8” second digit) does NOT guarantee

compliance against water jets from equipment hose down

or equal in-use conditions.

*These ratings are based on standardized tests. APM recom-

mends that the user review the actual installation for product

suitability. APM welcomes the opportunity to work with the user

Protect Against & Prevent Seepage/Leakage Through Switch Panel Cutout

These reusable self-sealing washers are designed for use

with popular sealed switches and circuit breakers. While

such sealed switches are designed to tolerate hostile envi-

ronments (such as salt spray, wash-downs, lubricating fluids,

weather, dust and other contaminants) that may compro-

mise reliable switch operation, they typically do not seal the

panel cutout in which they are mounted. Hence, these same

contaminants may “leak past” the bushing through the panel

cutout causing equipment/system failures.

Designed to prevent such leakage, each is fabricated from

a stainless steel washer with a bonded high-tear strength

silicone rubber sealing ring. The soft resilient ring conforms

to the panel surface to seal out harmful contaminants.

• Seals the panel cutout in which the circuit breaker is

mounted, protecting behind-panel components from

dirt/moisture. No O-ring required.

• Reusable in the event the switch or circuit breaker fails

and replacement is needed.

• Easy to install without the need for special tools, sealing

compounds, sealing tapes, et al.

•

Does not compromise switch or circuit breaker performance.

• Meets stringent Military, UL and Canadian National

Standards regarding environmental requirements for

electrical enclosures.

• UL Recognized for Type 4X & Type 6 enclosure protection.

• Meets IEC IP66/68 enclosure protection

Note: Where the possibility of build up of ice, dirt or

other contaminants can accumulate in the toggle breaker

external actuating mechanism, we recommend using a full

or half silicone sealing boot which will protect the actuator

mechanism and keep it operating smoothly, and its perimeter

seal will protect the mounting hole from potential seepage.

Color: Black (other materials and colors available on special order.)

Temperature Range: -65°F to +300°F (-53°C to +148°C)

Shelf Life: 2 years.

Mounting Nut: Aluminum (see table below)

Installation: A. Mount the switch using SNAPSEEL shouldered mounting nut.

B. Press SNAPSEEL over switch actuator and snap over nut.

HOW TO ORDER

Select boot to ﬁt switch type and dimensions. Choose shouldered mounting nut to mate

with selected boot. SEE TABLE BELOW FOR SHOULDERED MOUNTING NUT

OPTION. For example: When ordering a pushbutton boot PN 1211/10, also order its

companion shouldered mounting nut P/N 2120/122/1.

SNAPSEELS®

SNAPSEELS®combine economy

with performance for more moderate

temperature conditions and lower-demand

commercial-grade applications. Each

consists of a molded neoprene boot

which snaps over a specially designed

shouldered mounting nut. These

inexpensive boots are an ideal way to

protect switches and potentiometers

against dust, dirt, grease and moderate

amounts of moisture.

TOGGLE SWITCH SEALING BOOTS WITH

INTEGRAL IQ™MOUNTING NUT

•Ideal protection against unforgiving environmental hazards — prolongs switch reliability

• Ideal for speedy retroﬁtting of booted and non-booted switches

• Ideal for easy original equipment assembling

• Ideal for meeting aesthetic requirements that call for smooth

exterior surface around mounting nut

• Ideal color solutions for matching boot color to exact panel

color, or for deﬁning speciﬁc control function on request.

Standard color choices are gray and black.

• Patent No. 7,964,812 … made in the USA

The APM HEXSEAL IQ Switch Sealing Boot is designed for applications where it

is preferable to retain the original switch’s front-panel mounting nut. This version

is made possible by the incorporation of a newly designed bonded concentric

mounting nut that features an internal cavity conﬁguration allowing the integral

CONCENTRO-NUT to sit on and wrap itself around the existing original switch

front panel nut. This enables the two nuts to work in concert when tightened. The

IQ Switch Sealing Boot mounting design permits an easy and speedy retroﬁt, or

new OEM installation. The use of the IQ Sealing Boot prevents any switch distur-

bance; for example, the undesirable rotation of the

switch body and possible stress on its connections.

No special tools or O-Rings, washers or adhesives

are required. The IQ Switch Sealing Boot design

also features a patented ﬂange sealing-rib that

fully contacts the front-panel surface, creating a

vacuum seal that protects the mounting hole from

gas or liquid seepage contamination. In addition to

standard black or gray, any color can be speciﬁed

to match any panel or to deﬁne a control function.

THE IQ CONCENTRO-NUT™ MOUNTS OVER

THE SWITCH’S FRONT PANEL MOUNTING-NUT
