SURVIVING HOSTILE CONTROL SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTS
There is an IP-rated UL-recognized environmental sealing
boot expressly designed for selected control components
(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
Table 1.
Selected Electrical Enclosure Standards
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.

1 .........Indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against limited amounts of falling dirt.
2 .........Indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against limited amounts of falling
water and dirt.
3 .........Outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against rain, sleet, windblown
dust and damage from external ice formation.
3R.......Outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against rain, sleet, and damage
from external ice formation.
3S.......Outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against rain, sleet, windblown
dust and to provide for operation of external mechanisms when ice laden.
4 .........Indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against windblown dust
and rain, splashing water, hose-directed water and damage from external ice formation.
4X.......Indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against corrosion,
windblown dust and rain, splashing water, hose-directed water and damage from external
ice formation.
5 .........Indoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against settling airborne dust,
falling dirt, and dripping noncorrosive liquids.
6 .........Indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against hose-directed
water, and the entry of water during occasional temporary submersion at a limited depth
and damage from external ice formation.
6P.......Indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection against hose-directed
water, the entry of water during prolonged submersion at a limited depth and damage
from external ice formation.
