Just as I thought.......
Typing EIC instead of IEC. Making all of us senior citizens have a senior citizen moment. Not beuno, dude.
You could do what us old farts do.......measure the outline......draw it on a CAD package.....print it out........tape it over the place where you want it.......start drilling/cutting filing.
BTW.......you will probably have to make one for each brand of inlet.

Yeah, I bet Greenlee would ask about $300 for it.
I admit I fudge with a Dremel if I have to stick one of those in something.
In some cases, if mounted from the outside, is there not enough flange to cover the corners of a rectangluar hole?
COnsider a snap in version. Snaps in like a rocker switch does. Needs a plain old vanilla rectangle hole.
Look at Mouser stock # 161-0711-PQA for example, it does have beveled corners, but they are behind the flange. I service numerous products that use it, and it is installed in a rectangle hole. No point in making the odd shaped hole for it. 74 cents each. The corners are not involved in support either way.
I stock both the snap ins and the mount flange ones, but for new coinstruction, I stick to square.
If you are committed to the mount flange type, look at a manufacturers site for product description. FInd your connector in a catalog to get the makers part number then look for a data sheet. I suspect the mounting hole dimensions are there, ready to lift. Mouser might even have such linked to their site already.
