Switch Boots Specifications

ZāGO's team crafts strong and maneuverable one-piece switch boots. Our manufacturing process includes testing raw silicone within tight quality control standards, and then selecting the appropriate silicone needed for each order. Our technicians then re-compound the rubber by incorporating cure and coloring agents to the final elastomer. Next, the materials are combined and molded according to specifications to precisely fit each toggle switch, push button switch, or rotary switch. By replacing the ordinary mounting nut with ZāGO's seal boot, your switch will have full protection. No special handling is required; they are easily installed and fit over most standard switches.

ZāGO SWITCH BOOTS MATERIALS:

CONSTRUCTION & DESIGN

   Boots are designed and constructed to the physical dimensions specified. All threaded parts are in accordance with FED-STD-H28 unless otherwise specified.

   Temperature Range: -93 F to +400 F
   Ingress Rating: IP68
   Pressure Range: 15 psi internal and 15 psi external
   Shelf Life: 25 Years (depending on environment)

MOUNTING NUT

Corrosion resistant – Nickel Plated Brass

RUBBER ELEMENT

Commercial – High Strength silicone rubber, grades 30, 50 or 60.
Military – Silicone Rubber in accordance with A-A-59588 Class 3a, grades 30, 50, or 60. Standard color is gray. Other colors are available upon request.

While specifications are negotiable between the customer and the supplier, superior compound properties and a high frequency of re-testing may result in higher costs to produce the finished product.

All boots are crafted from a single-piece design and can be made DFARS and ROHS compliant. Based on the same design and engineering principles used in demanding military applications, ZāGO switch boots assure long lasting performance for your switches, circuit breakers or potentiometers.

For unusual requirements, ZāGO can adjust existing boots or custom design boots to meet the customer's specifications.
