Abstract
A double pole, manual reset switch that is sealed from its application environment. The switch comprises a shell and a base assembly including an actuator, terminals and blade/contacts. After the switch actuator is depressed to a “make” position, it must be manually lifted back to a “break” position. The switch has an epoxy seal along the bottom between the shell and base, heat shrink material around an opening where wires pass through, and an O-ring on the actuator for sealing the top of the switch. The components of the switch are easily assembled in the base prior to insertion of the base assembly into the shell. The wires extend from the switch adjacent to each other at an end, and in an alternate embodiment of the switch, the wires extend in pairs from a rear side of the switch.
