57 - Spring Latch Series Self-Adjusting Compression Latches

Description

Versatile, affordable, and forgiving, this extremely economical class of compression latches is Southco's easiest way to make panels fit just right with a quick fraction of a turn. Its cam action spring pawl accommodates wide variations in grip range, fit, and build tolerances.

Features and Benefits A wide range of latch sizes and actuation styles complement the versatile performance of this self-adjusting spring cam design. They satisfy a broad spectrum of applications where specific compression forces are not critical. Ramped spring-quality pawl provides increasing level of compression as latch is rotated and enhances tension on latch in closed position Serrated spring models provide greater friction for more vibration-resistant grip User controls the amount of compression force Spring steel cam design is more tolerant of rough handling as experienced with lift-off panels Three-hole (round hole) mounting design accommodates rivet, stud, or weld mounting.

• The stepped spring steel pawl increases the level of compression as the latch is rotated and exercised a higher voltage with the device closed
  
• Spring models feature superior friction to increase vibration resistance.
  
• The user controls the amount of compressive force
• The cam design made of spring steel is best suited to the type of handling typical of removable panels
  
• The three-hole (round) mounting design is suitable for installation with rivets, pins or welding
