2. DESCRIPTION
(See Figure 1)
2.1. Slide Latch Kits
Each slide latch kit contains a slide latch, two
lockwashers, two screws, two hex nuts, and two flat
washers (if required). There are three styles of slide
latch kits (Style I, Style II, and Style III) which differ
from one another in the components, screw thread
size, and application of the connector.
2.2. Slide Latch Clip Kits
The slide latch clip kit contains two identical clip
component assemblies. Each assembly consists of
one clip, one screw, one flat washer, one lock washer,
and one nut.
2.3. Locking Post Kits
Each locking post kit contains two locking posts, two
hex nuts, two lockwashers, and two flat washers (if
required). There are two types of locking post kits
(Type I and Type II) which differ from one another in
the components, screw thread size and head
thickness, and application of the connector.
For specific component dimensioning or related
product information, refer to Catalog 82068.

3. APPLICATION AND ASSEMBLY
Both types of locking post kits can be used with any
style of the slide latch kits and any style of the slide
latch kit can be used with both types of the locking
post kit. The kit selection depends on the application:
either free–hanging, front panel mounting, or rear
panel mounting. For panel–mounting applications, it is
recommended that the locking post kit be assembled
on the panel–mounted connector.
