US Patent 7182638 Mounting tabs arrangement

A mounting tab arrangement for mounting a housing assembly. The housing assembly includes a plurality of connectors extending from the housing assembly and a plurality of mounting tabs extending from the housing assembly. Each of the mounting tabs extends between a pair of adjacent connectors. However, the mounting tabs do not extend out beyond distal ends of the connectors. In one embodiment, each of the mounting tabs includes a slot where the slots are oriented in different directions relative to one another so that the housing assembly can be variably mounted despite the distal ends of the connectors extending beyond the mounting tabs.
