Precise Integration Enabled System

The precision integration-enabled system is a patented locating and attachment feature that minimizes gaps or movement as well as manufacturing variation common with snap fits while leveraging the inherent elastic deformation properties of plastic.  No external fixtures are needed, labor is reduced, and ergonomics are improved. This is the first application to use a MIC bezel for the housing that prevented water migration without need for additional seals. Also, the typical tooling action needed to mold snap fits was eliminated, saving tooling time and costs.
