The E3-104-145 Compression Latch from Southco features a VISE ACTION® design that provides mechanical advantage for secure, vibration-resistant closure. It effectively seals out water and dust, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The latch operates with a simple half-turn motion, aligning the cam behind the frame to ensure a tight fit. It is available in both fixed and adjustable grip options, accommodating different door and panel thicknesses. The latch is constructed from materials such as zinc, stainless steel, and aluminum, with finishes including powder coating and chrome plating. Compliance with NEMA 4 and IP65/69K ratings ensures durability in challenging environments. Various access styles, including tool and key locking options, enhance security and deter unauthorized access. The product is designed for easy installation, with recommended torque specifications provided for mounting.
Southco’s VISE ACTION® Compression latches provide mechanical advantage, ensuring tight, robust vibration resistant door closure to seal out water and dust in the most strenuous applications. The smooth operation of the VISE ACTION® design aligns the cam behind the frame, then draws it straight up tight to prevent scraping against the frame, with a single continuous half-turn motion. Its compression action 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. Over-center latching resists accidental opening due to shock or vibration.
