Abstract
A method of assembling a combination starter-protector device and mounting it in a preselected assembly position onto at least a pair of plug terminals associated with a housing having a dynamoelectric machine arranged therein and with the at least plug terminal pair connected in circuit relation with a winding circuit of the dynamoelectric machine. The combination starter-protector device includes a pair of separable casing members, a PTCR, an overload protector, and at least a pair of female terminals. In this method, the PTCR, the protector device and the at least female terminal pair are enclosed within the casing members, and a resilient means is releasably secured generally about a major peripheral portion of the casing members for retaining them against separation. The at least plug terminal pair are in electrical contacting engagement respectively within the at least female terminal pair so as to mount the combination starter-protector device in its preselected assembly position, and a part of the resilient means is releasably attached with a part of the housing at least generally adjacent the at least plug means pair associated therewith so as to releasably maintain the combination starter-protector device against displacement from its preselected assembly position. A combination starter-protector device and a method of assembling such are also disclosed.
