To comply with explosion proof requirements the BX has flame paths within the housing, which cool exploding gases below the ignition temperature before they reach explosive gases surrounding the housing. Flame paths on the BX are (1) an extended plunger between the switch cavity and head and (2) the cover-housing threads on the front of the switch.
