E3 - Vise Action Compression Latches


Overview
Designed for quick, secure closure in applications where vibration, sealing, and quality are paramount. The original Southco Vise Action latching mechanism combines with numerous body and head styles designed to suit specific installation and application requirements.

Product Features and Benefits
The smooth operation of the Vise Action design aligns the pawl behind the frame and draws it up tight 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.
