R4-75 Rotary Latch for Debris Resistant Latching

 

 

The R4-75
Rotary Latch with Debris Resistant Design offers a compact solution for
applications that require concealed mounting and remote actuation of a door or
panel. An in-line trigger and external rotor feature provide robust latching
for interior or exterior enclosures and compartments, making it an ideal choice
