What adjustable receptacles are available?

Turnlock has adjustable receptacles available in 2 series:

1) Medium duty Tiny Housed-series

2) Heavy duty Grommet Retained-series

The MOST important thing about adjustable receptacles is that you can use the same stud length for different panel thicknesses.

For example, the panel you have changes thickness from at the beginning of the panel on 1 mm to 4mm,

You can easily adjust the receptacle to fit your application.

How to adjust/install:

By screwing the insert inside the receptacle more in or out, you can adjust the receptacle to work with the stud at your specific panel thickness.

After setting the height, pull out the security pin to fix the receptacle.

Very interesting to know is that most are also available in Aluminium, which makes them very low weight.
