Latching System Seats Door Firmly To Enclosure

June 1, 1999

Ease of operation, high security, and consistent compression along the entire edge of where an enclosure and its door meet are all promised by the Multi-point Latching System (at left in photo). The system together with the Lift-handle Actuator (right in photo) enable enclosures to meet NEMA 4 and IP-66 specs for sealing, as well as EMI specs for shielding effectiveness at a minimum of 42 dB from 1 MHz to 2 GHz. While allowing designers to position as many latches as needed along the door to provide consistent, 5-mm compression along the entire door's edge, Multi-point Latching System can drive the latches from just one point using the Lift-handle Actuator- the tamper-resistant actuator can be operated in one single lifting motion.
