SEALED TOGGLE SWITCHES
Designed to comply with MIL-DTL-3950G requirements for environmentally sealed toggle switches,
Carling Technologies
®
ST-Series Sealed Toggle Switch features innovative design and performance
principles sure to withstand the most demanding applications.
The ST-Series features a toggle seal composed of dynamic silicone material that bonds to the metal toggle,
pin and bushing, providing ideal sealing and protection against the environment, vibration and shock,
while withstanding extreme temperature variations. It also utilizes up to three terminal seals per pole and
an optional o-ring assures additional under panel sealing protection. All silicone seals on the ST-Series
comply with A-A-59588 for silicone rubber performance specifications and, together, these features meet
the international IEC 60529 standard for sealing performance to an IP68 level.
