ACCESSORIES
Non-turn Washers
The Series 61S bushing has a non-turn keyway
to prevent rotation of the switch body when the
panel is cut to fit. Another way to keep the
switch from turning is to use a nonturn washer.
Part Number 50J1066:
302-2B stainless steel
Part number 12C1087-1:
cadium-plated
Part Number SHH694-11:
302-2B stainless
steel, no plating
to .040", when the switch is mounted. The
panel seal is silicon rubber. The shaft seal is an
o-ring per MIL–P–5516B.
Shaft and Panel Seal
For shaft and panel seal version, the shaft is
sealed by an o-ring inside the bushing. The
panel is sealed by a flat gasket .045" thick at
the base of the bushing. The panel seals will
increase the behind panel dimension by .020"
