Electrical Grommet Device
First Claim
1. An electrical device comprising:
- a casing comprising;
a grommet comprising one or more first apertures and an insertion portion;
anda connection mechanism capable of being coupled to the grommet;
one or more electrical components located at least partially within the casing; and
one or more electrical connectors located at least partially within the casing and coupled to the one or more electrical components,wherein;
the insertion portion of the grommet can be removably placed in a grommet hole from a first side of the grommet hole; and
