ABSTRACT:
An electrical assembly in which electrical connection is made to a device having two laminar electrodes and a laminar element between the electrodes, preferably a circuit protection device in which a PTC conductive polymer element is sandwiched between two metal foil electrodes. Connection is made to at least one of the electrodes by a resiliently deformed clip having an active arm which contacts one of the electrodes, and a passive arm which is not in conductive contact with the other electrode. Preferably there is an auxiliary member between the active and passive arms of the clip. The auxiliary member can be an insulator, or a conductive member which is spaced apart from the other electrode but secured to the same face of the PTC element as the other electrode.
