Adjustable Sensor Mounting System

A mounting system includes a threaded body that is configured to securely retain an electronic component therein. The threaded body includes a core that defines an inner cavity extending therethrough, and a bottom flange that extends radially outward from an annular bottom edge of the core. The threaded body includes a plurality of fins that are substantially vertically oriented and extend radially outward from the core. The outer edges of the plurality of fins are indexed to collectively form a helical structure that defines a screw thread. The mounting system also includes a nut member that defines a center cavity that extends therethrough and includes an inner flange that defines a complementary screw thread. The mounting system is installed in the ceiling tile by removably coupling the nut member to the threaded body such that the ceiling tile is clamped between the bottom flange and the nut member.
