Southco launches new Quarter-Turn Fastener for use in tight spaces

By Michelle Froese | April 3, 2020

The DZUS D9 Tech Line is designed to provide consistent, reliable clamping force to prevent damage caused by over tightening. Learn more here.

Southco has introduced a new product to its industry-recognized line of DZUS Quarter-Turn Fasteners, which enables end users to easily fasten and unfasten with a quick, quarter-turn motion in limited-space applications. The DZUS D9-52 Tech Line Quarter-Turn Fastener features a reduced head diameter, allowing it to be installed in tight spaces and easily accessed via hand or tool actuation.

Additionally, Southco’s DZUS D9-52 Tech Line features a captive, spring-loaded design that provides accurate, secure engagement, and vibration resistance — while helping to prevent damage caused by over tightening. Available in press in and flare in installation styles, the DZUS D9 Tech Line is available in a variety of stud lengths and mating receptacle options to accommodate varying panel thicknesses.

The fastener is also available with corrosion-resistant steel or UV-resistant prism color over molded heads which allow users to easily differentiate application zones.

“With its compact design footprint and quick quarter-turn to fasten operation, Southco’s new DZUS D9-52 Tech Line Quarter-Turn Fastener saves time and ensures efficient end user connectivity in server chassis and telecom applications,” said Global Product Manager Jim Grady.
