SL-8400 Line
8415 Slide Latch
The 8415 Slide latch has three components:
(each sold separately)
- a slotted sliding bar which is sold assembled to a mounting
plate,
- a bush which is gripped in its grooved section by the sliding
bar, and
- a spacer which raises the bush to clear thick panels.
The sliding bar and mounting plate are attached to the removable panel and
the bush is mounted to the panel's stationary support. In closure
the spring action of the bar resists opening under vibration and
shock loads.
Clearance above the slide latch need only allow for fingers to
grip the sliding bar. The latch is also sold with the handle
pointing downward for mounting on the underside of the panel.

Material: steel
Finish: Zinc Trivalent Clear .0003 thick. Trivalent Chromate Clear with Sealer (RoHS Compliant)
Specification(s): ASTM-B-633, Type III, SC 2, Clear
Suffix: -Z3CT
Note: When our existing supply of Cadmium plated parts is
exhausted, DFCI Solutions, Inc will no longer offer Cadmium plating
as an option.
In place of the Cadmium plating, we recommend:
Clear: Zinc Trivalent Clear .0003 thick. Trivalent Chromate Clear with Sealer (RoHS Compliant)
Specification(s): ASTM-B-633, Type III, SC 2, Clear
Suffix: -Z3CT
Black: Zinc Trivalent Black .0003 thick. Trivalent Chromate Black Dye with Sealer (RoHS Compliant)
Specification(s): ASTM-B-633, Type II, SC 2, Black
Suffix: -Z3BT
Yellow: Zinc Trivalent Yellow .0003 thick, Trivalent Chromate Yellow Dye with Sealer
We recommend the Z3CT finish instead of the Z3YT finish. The Z3CT finish is much more cost effective and provides the same salt spray benefits as the Z3YT finish. (RoHS Compliant)
Specification(s): ASTM-B-633, Type II, SC 2, Yellow
Suffix: -Z3YT
The colored finishes offer no advantage over the clear other than
the color, and they are more expensive.
Also available in all Stainless Steel 300 series; change the
finish suffix from -Z3CT to -SS on the part numbers. (Spacers are
not available in stainless steel.)
All parts also available in steel with bright commercial chrome
plate. Change the finish suffix from Z3CT to K3C. (Spacers not
available in chrome.)
Inside diameter of bushing and spacer: .170"
(4.32 mm)
The use of the 8415-04-Z3CT spacer is dependent upon the panel
thickness. See the table below.

Installation:
Bushing Installation Methods
Fasten the bushing using any of the above methods.
We recommend a 5/32" or 3.97 mm rivet as this is the closest
to a standard size rivet without going over the .170" I.D. of
both the Bushing and Spacer. Fasteners for the bushing are not
supplied.
