Southco Introduces New Latch For Panel Closures Requiring Basic Compression

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 August 2024 - Southco Asia Ltd., a subsidiary of Southco Inc., a leading global provider of engineered access solutions such as locks, latches, captive fasteners, electronic access solutions, and hinges/positioning technology, has introduced a new line of compression latches that have been optimized to provide a simple and affordable solution for enclosure applications that require basic compression.

The E9 Quarter-Turn Compression Latch combines the proven 90-degree actuation of Southco's E5 Cam Latch series with light compression to fit a wide range of industry applications, including Bus, Rail and Industrial Machinery.

The E9 Quarter-Turn Compression Latch facilitates the upgrade from cam latching to compression latching for applications where the full compression strength of Southco's E3 VISE ACTION® series is not required.

With simple 90 degree actuation, the E9 Quarter-Turn Compression Latch rotates the cam behind the frame to secure the panel. The E9 Quarter-Turn Compression Latch series is available in clockwise and counterclockwise versions, and with fixed or adjustable grip lengths that enable engineers to choose the right solution for their application.

Designed with fewer internal components, the E9 Quarter-Turn Compression Latch facilitates hardware upgrades and saves assembly time. Available with 13 different head styles and three different cam styles (standard, protected and roller cam) the E9 is highly customizable to unique application requirements. The highly durable latch meets IP66/IP67 (intrusion protection) ratings for dust and water ingress and is tested to last 10,000 cycles, making it a reliable choice for demanding environments.

Commercial Product Manager Jonathan Coulter adds, "The new E9 Quarter-Turn Compression Latch delivers an affordable alternative for panel closure upgrades, offering compression without high costs or complicated engineering."
