A panel mount for supporting an electronic device at a hole in a control panel and mountable with access to only the front of the panel. It has a housing that slides into a tubular elastomeric grommet. During installation, an expander segment of the housing slides within a bulging segment of the grommet to expand the grommet inward of the hole and for retaining the components within the hole. A tubular male pre-assembly segment on the exterior surface of the tubular housing permits the housing to be pre-inserted partially into the grommet without expanding any part of the grommet radially outward in preparation for inserting the assembled housing and grommet into the panel hole. A withdrawal lock prevents the housing from sliding axially out of the grommet after installation. The withdrawal lock includes a shoulder formed on the grommet and a shoulder formed on the housing.

A circuit breaker and panel system includes a panel including a base pan having a plurality of base pan electrical connections. A circuit breaker including a housing having a plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections arranged to contact the base pan electrical connections when the circuit breaker is coupled to the base pan. The circuit breaker is rotatably coupleable with the base pan via a pivot joint for engaging the plurality of base pan electrical connections with the plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections per a predetermined electrical connection coupling sequence. One of the housing and the base pan includes a protrusion and the other of the housing and the base pan includes a corresponding recess which, when engaged with each other, retain the housing to the base pan to prevent reverse rotational movement of the breaker with respect to the base pan.

A switch assembly includes a panel defining an aperture therethrough and a switch subassembly having a switch housing. At least one tab extends from the housing, the tab having a first portion extending away from the housing and toward the back side of the panel to a projection, the projection spaced in a longitudinal direction from the back side of the panel and laterally outward of the aperture when the tab is in a relaxed state, and a second portion that extends from the projection in the longitudinal direction and terminates in a tab end disposed within the aperture. The tab end is accessible from the front side of the panel and the tab is sufficiently flexible such that flexing the tab end inwardly from the front side causes the projection to flex inwardly from the relaxed state to a point where the projection can pass through the aperture.

Button assemblies for controlling a seat position and for mounting on a seat panel are provided. The button assemblies may have a button housing having a portion that is configured to position over edges of an opening in the seat panel. One or more flexible retaining members integral to or attached to the button housing are configured to compress through the opening in the seat panel and expand therein positioned opposite an inner surface thereof upon insertion, securing the assembly within the opening.
