What Did You Buy Today?

hard to see in the blurry pics. do the four white tabs hold it in?

what turns on the threads? I assume the ribbed nut turns on the threads? Do those white tabs rotate at all?
(looks like there are outer black tabs that locate it and keep it from rotating?)
 
It's supposed to mount to the door of the box.
Either a ½ or ¾ inch hole trade sized for electrical conduit. Use a metal hole saw and a drill and make a hole like you are an electrician.

The back part just hangs in the air. You might need to use a metal lock washer to hold the switch in place....then the black one I see already on the switch. But the black one is probably more than sufficient to hold it in place. Secure the wires to the panel door with a sticky back and zip ties. And make sure that you leave enough length of the wires for the door to be free to open.
Also secure the wires in such a fashion as they don't get into a rats nest or interfere with any other switches.

no honey, it is a 22mm required hole, the lock washer is under the top of the switch it is supposed to be tightened to keep in place. If you look the threaded part is where the washer is tightened up.. that top part should come off, but for the life of me i can not figure out how it releases. Don't need any other "lock washer". it goes in a box to send the power to the VFD

Looks like it's either a "one way push" deal or perhaps a turn/cam/tab to remove:
