- An extended housing version for accommodating increased panel thickness.
- A roller cam option that compensates for inadequate gasket compression.
- A flush mounting cup that provides flush and sub flush installation capabilty capability.
The E5 Cam Latch series continues to provide affordable simplicity by offering quick access with just a quarter turn, plus flexibility of modular design for numerous actuation and dimensional options. These new product releases offer reliable performance for a variety of applications where light compression and sealing is required, especially for HVAC and industrial enclosures.
How The Simplified Features Increase Performance
The extended housing accommodates panel and door thicknesses up to 52mm. This delivers light compression and is ideal for applications where sealing efficiency is a key design consideration, such as enclosures with thermal insulation used in the commercial HVAC industry.
The plastic roller-style cam reduces the operational force required and provides light compression for simple enclosure applications. This provides secure cam engagement and up to 2mm of light-duty compression and eliminates vibration and rattling during operation. The smooth rotation of the cam roller reduces frictional force and improves door opening and closing compared to using a flat cam.
The roller cam also offers an economic, secure solution for overcoming inadequate gasket compression with low operating efforts and is also compatible with our E5 Cam Latches as well as other Southco product series including:
- H3 Swing handle Cam Latches,
- E3 VISE ACTION® Compression Latches,
- M1 Compression Latches
- 92 T- and L-Handle Style Cam Latches
The flush mounting cup accessory that can be combined with any of Southco’s E5 Cam Latches or E3 VISE ACTION® Compression Latches to meet NEMA 4 and IP65 requirements for water and dust protection. This allows the latch to be mounted flush to the panel by recessing the mounting point and is available with threaded stud or through-hole mounting styles, offering design flexibility to best fit the requirements of the application.
