Abstract
A holder (1) with a cylindrical housing (4) for an electrical component is arranged to be secured to a mounting panel of thickness (d) by pushing the housing through an opening in the panel until a flange (3) engages the panel. The housing is surrounded by a clamping collar (6) providing groups of strip springs (8) of different length. The springs are provided with oblique end edges (7) and are twisted outwardly so as to center the holder in the mounting panel opening and to engage the back of the panel around the opening.
