  • Quick Installation

    For OEMs, efficiencies in production and assembly can take place in a variety of ways. 

    Quick installation of the PMI, light pipe or other components can occur with features including quick-connect tabs, connectors, or press-fit options.

  • Quick-Connect Tabs

    PMIs can be connected to the power source within the device by wire leads or quick-connect tabs (or terminals) that use metal to conduct electricity and power the device. 

    While slightly more expensive than wire leads, quick connect tabs provide greater flexibility in production and assembly.
