I used some of these on a project - they are from DGS/Deltron and
Mouser has some stock. The nice thing is these mount into a round
hole with a keying notch. As you can see in the picture Larry posted,
these have a long threaded metal body and a hex nut for mounting.
Installing on a thick panel should not be a problem. They look pretty
good as they do not have the "football" ears like most panel mount
DINs.
Part # 164-2522 for black body
Part # 16HR655 for nickel body
Paul - I definitely think you should order a few to evaluate. The
only potential disadvantage is the plastic portion is gray as opposed
to black - I think this would look fine though. Black inserts might
be available as a manufacturing option - but I'm pretty sure the ones
Mouser stocks are gray.
