The Opto–Switch can be mounted to 0.8- to 1.6-mm-thick panels.

Refer to the above mounting hole dimensions and open the mounting holes in
the panel to which the Opto–Switch will be mounted.
Insert into the holes the Opto–Switch’s mounting portions with a force of three
to five kilograms but do not press in the Opto–Switch at one time. The Opto–
Switch can be easily mounted by inserting the mounting portions halfway and
then slowly pressing the Opto–Switch onto the panel.

Dismounting is achieved by either hand (below panel), or screwdriver ( above

panel).
