Abstract
A combination starter-protector device adapted for removable mounting in electrical contacting engagement onto at least a pair of male terminals of a dielectric plug device secured to an apparatus housing. The combination starter-protector device has a casing, a PTCR disposed therein, and a switch in the casing for association in thermal coupling relation with the PTCR. A spring associated with the casing is adapted for releasable securing engagement with the apparatus housing so as to maintain the combination starter-protector device against displacement from the electrical contacting engagement thereof with the at least male terminal pair of the dielectric plug device when the combination starter-protector device is removably mounted thereto.
