Low profile compression latch aids environmental sealing

The 7-078 fixed cam latch and 7-079 adjustable cam latch are claimed ideal for any indoor or outdoor application that requires compression for environmental sealing, reduction of noise and rattling due to vibration and low protrusion. When using these latches, the door is locked and secured with a 180° turn. The first 90° turn secures the door closed. The second 90° turn compresses the gasket. There is a colored locked and unlocked indicator on the face of the latches so the user can clearly see the lock status. Both latches offer up to 6mm of compression and can be used with variable door thicknesses of 0.8mm to 22mm. They are water and dust-tight according to IP 65 and DIN EN 60529. Available in both left and right hand versions, interior protrusion of the latches in an uncompressed position is 48mm and 69mm respectively.
