E3 - Compression Latches
Designed for quick, secure closure in applications where vibration, sealing, and quality are paramount. The Southco E3 latch mechanism combines with numerous body and head styles designed to suit specific installation and application requirements. More than 3000 solutions are available.
The E3 design aligns the pawl behind the frame and draws it up tight with a single continuous half-turn motion. This smooth operation enables a compression of up to 600 N. It provides consistent 6.4 mm (.25") pull-up for environmental sealing in gasketed applications, and helps reduce or eliminate noise and rattles caused by vibration. This latch resists to accidental opening due to shock or vibration.
With the E3 range, designers will find the latch corresponding to their application. Available in 6 sizes of styles, it will accommodate to various door or panel thicknesses, grip ranges, actuator styles, and interior protrusion. Easy-to-grip knob and handle-actuated styles provide quick, simple access. More than 45 key-actuated and tool-actuated styles restrict access and discourage vandalism. Low-profile and flush-mount styles minimize protrusion above panel. The E3 latch is also available in fixed-grip and adjustable grip versions. Many models are suitable for NEMA 4 and IP-65 applications.
E3 is also available in a range of materials and finishes, including: stainless steel, chrome plated, or black powder coated. Some models are also available to accommodate 2- and 3-point compression latching. E3 enables EMI/RFI sealing.
E3 is available with a wide range of accessories: Fixed Bracket for Flush Mount, Sealing Covers keep out dirt or moisture, Industry-standard or custom keys permit built-in access control, Spur Washers permit latch mounting in single round hole…
Single-hole mounting styles provide for convenient installation and assembled versions facilitate quick and easy installation; unassembled versions are available for mounting in thicker doors and other restricted access situations.
Industry Applications includes Electronics and Industrial Enclosures, Industrial Machinery, HVAC equipment, Construction Equipment, Off-Highway Vehicles, Farm Equipment, Railway, Recreational Vehicles, Marine as well as Networking and Telecommunications.
