ABSTRACT:
A retention clip for retaining a thermal protection sensor in contact with a ballast transformer core is disclosed which includes a vertical support engageable with a ballast housing for minimizing lateral movement, and a horizontal support, internal with the vertical support and engageable with the transformer laminations. A retaining bracket, integral with the vertical and horizontal supports, is provided which includes a channel defined by oppositely disposed shoulders and, such that a thermal protecton sensor is easily disposable therein. The retaining bracket is angled relative to the transformer and may be contactable with a removable cover for driving the sensor into contact with the core. The bracket is preferably composed of a resilient material for spring loading upon insertion, urging the thermal protection sensor into initimate contact with the transformer and thereby assuring optimum thermal protection over the transformer's life.
