ABSTRACT:
Twist-in mounting structure comprises a barrel, and panel capture tabs extending oppositely away therefrom, each terminating in a free end spaced away from the barrel. Each tab has an interference surface sloping downwardly and inwardly toward the barrel, and an interference region bounded by the interference surface. An acute angle is included between the interference surfaces and a cooperative raised capture plateau lying below them. A spring locking arm, sprung out of the plane of the housing mounting surface, provides a distal locking element. The housing mounting surface provides structure for laterally capturing the locking arm. The locking arm responds to a varying force to move between an unstressed position, a depressed position in which the locking element is depressed within the housing mounting surface structure, and a locking position in which the locking element extends through a panel aperture to fix the component rotationally with respect to a panel captured between the panel capture tabs and the panel capture plateau.
