Compression Latches IP65 Sealing for Enclosures

Compression latches actively draw a door panel against its gasket as the latch is closed — generating a compressive sealing force that achieves IP54 to IP66-rated dust-tight and waterproof closure for outdoor electrical enclosures, vehicle compartments, and marine control panels. HTAN’s compression latch range is manufactured with ISO 9001-certified quality and full OEM/ODM customization for global customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What IP rating do your compression latches support?

Our compression latches are compatible with enclosure designs rated to IP54, IP65, and IP66. Provide your enclosure specification for a latch recommendation.

How do I adjust the compression stroke?

The keeper on HTAN compression latches is adjustable by rotating a threaded keeper or repositioning a slotted mount — allowing compression force to be restored without replacing the latch.

What is the difference between a cam latch and a compression latch?

A cam latch rotates to retain the door in position. A compression latch additionally pulls the door inward as it closes, actively compressing the gasket for an IP-rated seal. Use compression latches wherever ingress protection is required.
