EMKA’S PROGRAM 1000 COMPACT COMPRESSION LATCH

The <a href="http://www.emka.com/uk_en/products/catalogue/details/quarter-turns/standard/compression-latch-3/">Program 1000-U852 compact compression latch</a> from EMKA is a great idea for specialist enclosure manufacturers looking for a vibration-resistant locking solution to suit small enclosures with restricted available internal depth as often used on commercial vehicles.

The 1000-U852 features a very short body - just 18mm deep - and yet manages to provide a full 4.5mm of compression for gasket pull down on the second 90° of rotation, with a distinct over-centre action. Use of industry standard 20mm "rounded square" hole mounting ensures inter-changeability with standard quarter-turn latches, plus the benefits of a compression facility – which is increasingly seen as desirable in tough environments.
