Southco Introduces New Folding T-Handle Compression Latch
- Written by Media Outreach
N5 Lift-and-Turn Compression Latch
The N5 Compression Latch is designed for ergonomic operation, even under harsh conditions. The folding t-handle is easy to grip and actuate, even with a gloved hand, so operators can prioritize their safety and still work efficiently. When not in use, the handle folds neatly into the latch housing for a low-profile look that eliminates catch points.The folding T-handle is not the only low-profile aspect of the N5 Compression Latch. The entire device is designed to take up minimal space on a panel and protrude as little as possible into an enclosure. With these design choices, engineers can maximize their internal and surface space while still leveraging the ergonomic and sealing benefits of a t-handle compression latch.
Despite its compact design, the N5 is NEMA4/IP65 sealing compliant, and provides strong compressive force to protect valuable interior components. When paired with the right gasket, its compressive force forms a seal around a panel that guards against harmful outside elements like dust and water. Even without a gasket, compression also prevents the panel from rattling against its frame as interior components work, keeping your device quiet.
Finally, the N5 Lift-and-Turn Compression Latch has a variety of locking options and a non-locking variant to accommodate all security needs. These include key-locking cores and tool-operated options such as No. 2 Phillips recess, slotted recess, and hex recess. The N5 adapts to meet the security needs of each user without additional customization.
