Value Collection 82-35-315-55-PX Quarter Turn Stud Receptacle

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82-35-315-55-PX is a steel, self-clinching quarter turn stud receptacle designed to provide secure, tool-free panel fastening in light industrial and electronic enclosure applications. Self-clinching hardware installs permanently into sheet metal panels by pressing the fastener flush into a punched hole, eliminating loose hardware and floating components. This receptacle is sized for the Medium No. 82 stud series and features a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. It is typically installed by mechanical assemblers, sheet metal fabricators, or field technicians working on enclosures and panels.

This receptacle is suited for use in panel assemblies, electronic enclosures, and equipment housings where quarter turn fastening systems are required. The self-clinching design makes it appropriate for thin sheet metal applications where a permanent, low-profile receptacle is needed. It is commonly found in control panel builds, junction box covers, and equipment access panels across industrial, electrical, and HVAC enclosure work.

Key Features

• Self-clinching design installs permanently into sheet metal without adhesives or additional hardware
• Compatible with Medium No. 82 quarter turn stud series
• Steel construction provides durable mechanical retention
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection
• Low-profile installation keeps panel surfaces clean and snag-free

Compatibility

Designed for use with Medium No. 82 series quarter turn studs. Consult the stud series specifications to confirm sheet thickness and hole size requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Self-clinching receptacles require a properly sized punched or drilled hole in the host panel and are pressed in using a arbor press or squeeze tool — never a hammer, which can deform the clinch geometry. Ensure the panel material meets the minimum hardness requirement for the clinch features to engage correctly. Disengage all power and verify the enclosure is de-energized before performing any panel fastener work on live equipment. Follow applicable assembly and enclosure standards for the installation environment.
