Vise Action Compression Latch with Tubular Key Head, Non-Locking, Black

Southco Vise Action compression latches with gaskets are specifically designed for applications where vibration, sealing, and quality are of utmost importance. 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. This compression action provides a consistent 0.25-inches pull-up for environmental sealing in gasketed applications, and helps to reduce or eliminate noise and rattles caused by vibration. Additionally, the over-center latching feature resists accidental opening due to shock or vibration, and these styles restrict access and discourage vandalism. The gasketed models meet NEMA 4 and IP-65 application standards, and are also available for EMI/RFI sealing.

Southco Vise Action compression latches are widely used in various industries including rail, aerospace, bus and coach, and specialty vehicles. They are also ideal for tool access restriction, and are available in standard profile as well as large size series. These latches come pre-assembled for convenience.

In addition to the above features, Southco Vise Action compression latches have a grip range of 0.45-1.07 inches or 2.61-3 inches, making them versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. This combination of features makes these latches a top choice for applications that require quick, secure closure with an emphasis on vibration resistance, sealing, and overall quality.
