Abstract
A rotatable receptacle and method of assembling and mounting a rotatable receptacle. The receptacle includes an outer ring that has a mounting surface for mounting to a housing, and a rotatable insert that is received in the outer ring. An inner surface of the outer ring surrounds an outer surface of the rotatable insert. The rotatable insert has an electrical face configured to mate with a photoelectric device and an opposite mounting face for mounting to the housing. The rotatable insert is rotatable with respect to the outer ring to orient the rotatable insert in a desired direction for optimal positioning of the photoelectric device. The outer ring and the rotatable insert have corresponding interlocking features configured to fix the rotatable insert in the desired direction.
