Why do switches fail? With manufacturers working to ensure their switches are robust enough to perform through thousands of operations, they’re up against something they can’t control - the external environment.

One of the main reasons that switches grind to a halt is unreliable sealing.

Rain, oil, sand, dust, steam, and other contaminants attack switches slowly but surely, seeping into the tiniest spaces and bringing corrosion, rust, and short-outs.

At Nexus, we know how important it is for your equipment to be protected from the elements. It’s why we work with ZaGO, one of the world’s most trusted and reliable specialists in sealing technology.
Their switch boots are moulded silicone coverings used to protect electronic devices with push button switches, toggle switches and rotary switches.
They provide a custom fit for a variety of electronic devices, and offer an elegance and protection that’s incomparable to messy liquid sealant application. Oil, water, dirt and humidity - along with other contaminants - are shut out completely.  
Crafted from a single-piece design of moulded rubber over a brass hex nut, switch boots save users both money and time - doing away with the expense of constant switch failure and replacement.
ZaGO even produce an option for bespoke multi-switch panel covers, protecting each individual switch from water spray, oil spills, and other harsh substances.
The boots can operate in extreme temperatures - from as low as -69 degrees celcius, up to over 200 degrees.
Small, lightweight, and reusable, they confirm to military specifications, having been originally designed for tough military applications, where sand, dust and humidity threaten the safety of transportation.
Since they began production, ZaGO has found that more and more industries are seeing the need to protect their equipment against the elements.
The company now supplies switch boots to customers involved in food processing, aerospace, medicine, power tools, construction and marine applications, to name but a few.
ZaGO switch boots even protect your leisure time - being found in car wash machinery, speedboat controls, and sporting equipment.
