I'm looking for sealed/waterproof switches & buttons

5 posts in this topic

I'm looking for "waterproof" pushbuttons, switches, and e-stop buttons to be used in a 3 hole enclosure for operator interface. We are using these buttons in an area that constantly gets splashed with water. Corrosion is starting to become a problem and I'd like to fend it off. Some of the components inside are getting very nasty and corroded. We currently use Hoffman NEMA4X enclosures and AB buttons. The enclosure itself seems to do a good job of keeping the water out, but water appears to be coming in through the buttons and switches. I would like recommendations on sealed switches/buttons that will keep the water out. I'd prefer AB but I couldn't find anything that appeared to be sealed. The hole size we use is 22.5mm but we could switch to 30.5 if necessary. Thanks!
