HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – August 23, 2024 – Southco Asia Ltd., a subsidiary of Southco Inc., a global leader in engineered access solutions such as locks, latches, captive fasteners, electronic access solutions and hinge/positioning technology, has introduced a new line of compression latches optimized to provide a simple and cost-effective solution for enclosure applications requiring basic compression. The E9 quarter-turn compression latch combines the proven 90-degree actuation of Southco’s E5 cam latch series with light compression, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including buses, rails and industrial machinery.

The E9 quarter-turn compression latch makes it easy to convert from cam latch to compression latch for applications where the full compression strength of Southco’s E3 VISE ACTION® Series is not required.
With a 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 right- and left-hand rotation versions and with fixed or adjustable handle lengths, allowing engineers to choose the right solution for their application.
The E9 quarter-turn compression latch features fewer internal components, making hardware upgrades easier and saving assembly time. Available in 13 different head styles and three different cam styles (standard, guarded and roller cam), the E9 can be customized to meet individual application requirements. The highly durable latch is IP66/IP67 (intrusion resistant) rated against dust and water ingress and is tested to 10,000 cycles, making it a reliable choice for demanding environments.
Jonathan Coulter, Commercial Product Manager, adds: “The new E9 quarter-turn compression latch provides a cost-effective alternative to upgrading panel latches, providing compression without high cost or complicated engineering.”
