Abstract
An enclosure is for a solid state overload relay mechanism or other device. The enclosure includes a mounting plate (12) defining a pair of upwardly extending flanges (14). A housing includes a lower housing (18) and an upper housing. The mounting plate flanges (14) are received through slotted openings (22) defined by the lower housing (18) and define openings (26) for engaging a tab member (28) defined by the lower housing (18). Each tab member (28) is received within and engaged with a corresponding opening (26) defined by a flange (14). A constant pressure is maintained between the tab member (28) and the mounting plate flange opening (26) such that the relative position between the two is fixed. Mounting profiles are defined by the mounting plate (12) and extend away from the lower housing (18) for retrofitting an existing device. The upper and lower housings (18,20) are held in a conventional snap-fit manner.
