Access panel latch enabled by ESD device

摘要

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention arrangement for an enclosure having an access panel has a conductor receptacle 24 for the insertion of an electrostatic discharge prevention device (20, fig. 1). A latch 30 for retaining the access panel 13 has a latch release member 31 which projects into the conductor receptacle. When the conductor is inserted into the conductor receptacle, the latch release member is displaced and the latch is disengaged. Thus the access panel cannot be opened until an electrostatic discharge prevention device is connected (see figs, 2, 3).
