HONG KONG, CHINA – Media
OutReach – 7 May 2019 – Southco Asia Ltd., a subsidiary of
Southco Inc., a leading global provider of engineered access solutions such as
locks, latches, captive fasteners, electronic access solutions and hinges/
positioning technology, has expanded
its line of spring-loaded plungers with a new thread-in version that allows for
quick installation and removal of thin panels in tight spaces. Suitable for
panels as thin as 0.64 millimeters, Southco’s newest 56 Spring-Loaded Plunger
features a thread in design that helps to prevents lost hardware and is
available with an over-molded head that can be used to designate access through
an array of standard and custom color options.

56 Spring-Loaded Plungers

The thread-in 56
Spring-Loaded Plunger builds upon Southco’s line of press-in and flare-in
styles, and stay-open/non-stay-open options provide versatility for fastening
and unfastening by hand when mounting doors, panels and other hardware
components in applications where space is limited.

56 Spring-Loaded Plungers
feature accentuated head styles to provide ample grip, while an optional
over-molded head allows engineers to easily designate access points or color
code access to the requirements of the application. A retractable-pin design
simplifies the positioning of sliding components.

According to Global
Product Manager Jim Grady: “The 56 Spring-Loaded Plunger series satisfies the
growing industrial trend towards thinner and lighter panels by offering quick
hand installation. The multiple installation and stay-open versions of our
spring-loaded plungers provide ample design flexibility, particularly in
limited space applications including servers and commercial lighting fixtures.”
