Abstract
A unitary bracket particularly suited for mounting a thermal protector to a ballast for an electrical lighting fixture. The unitary bracket has a holding-face portion with opposite edges and a mounting end, edge portions on the opposite edges angled toward the electrical device, and a mounting-end portion on the mounting end and extending toward the electrical device, the mounting-end portion having a mounting tab for engagement with the electrical device, the portions being configured and dimensioned to sandwich the thermal protector against the electrical device when the mounting-end portion is secured thereto. An improved thermally-protected ballast includes the bracket.
