Abstract:
1. A housing for an electrical switch, comprising: a tubular body having a top cylindrical portion and a bottom cylindrical portion opposite the top cylindrical portion, the top cylindrical portion having a first outside diameter and the bottom cylindrical portion having a second outside diameter; a first shed sleeve including a first opening with a first inside diameter that is smaller than the first outside diameter, the first shed sleeve being stretched over the first outside diameter of the top cylindrical portion so as to be removably attached to an outside surface of the top cylindrical portion via an interference fit and without creating a permanent bond, wherein an interior surface of the first shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the top cylindrical portion and the interior surface of the first shed sleeve; and a second shed sleeve including a second opening with a second inside diameter that is smaller than the second outside diameter, the second shed sleeve being stretched over the bottom cylindrical portion so as to be removably attached to an outside surface of the bottom cylindrical portion via an interference fit and without creating a permanent bond, wherein an interior surface of the second shed sleeve forms a dielectric interface between the outside surface of the bottom cylindrical portion and the interior surface of the second shed sleeve.
