Abstract
Controller assemblies including a control unit releasably supported to a mounting plate are disclosed. An illustrative controller assembly can include a mounting plate and a control unit that can be attached together via a number of latching mechanisms and corresponding mating recesses. Each latching mechanism can include a bendable latch and a latch shroud, which together are adapted to fit within a clearance area of the mating recess. The control unit can be removed from the mounting plate by rotating the control unit away from the mounting plate via a finger grip located along an edge of the assembly. The latching mechanisms can be configured to permit the staged removal of the control unit, reducing the force required to remove the control unit from the mounting plate.
