The device is suited for tight areas that butt directly up to an edge, and installs in a 32 X 20.1-mm rectangular cutout. It can install premounted for right or left-sided applications. The IP65-rated quarter-turn does not require screws and other mounting hardware. It simply snaps into place in the prepared sheet-metal panel. This reportedly reduces hardware installation time up to 90%. Strength and durability are comparable to traditional assembly methods, even in severe vibration applications.
