Enhanced quarter-turn fastener provides quick access and high strength

The D8 DZUS Panex quarter-turn fastener from Southco replaces its D3 counterpart and offering improved strength, quality and cycle life over the previous model.

Designed for quick access, the D8 fastens firmly into a receptacle with a simple quarter turn of the stud and features a new bail and wing design with a snap-on, ergonomic bail cover. Customers can quickly and easily install the vibration-resistant D8 fastener which features a precision fit and consistent orientation of head to cam. Product Specialist Manan Patel explained how the D8 provides a drop-in replacement for current D3 customers. "Southco offers the D8 in customisable colours to suit a wide range of styles," he added. "The new family delivers improved durability and better ergonomics." Patel believes that precision fit, aesthetics, strength, and flexible styling make this new fastener a leading choice for a wide variety of applications.
