You may be able to take the case well beyond your own limit and have it
stay intact. However, the depth will act on the connections, fittings,
switches, ec so that pushing a button down may make it stay down. Or
maybe teh seals will be shoved so tight against the through connection
that makes operation impossible. Again, the housing may survive fine,
but it might just be useless.

Just my SWAG (scientific wild ass guess)
