A heater apparatus (2) is structured for use in a circuit interrupter (4) having a thermal trip (38) and includes a conductive device (8) having a terminal (14) and a heater (16) that are co-formed with one another. The terminal includes a base (56) and a support (58). The conductive device is formed from an individual metallic plate (70) that is bent to form a number of plate elements (82). The base includes at least one plate element (82G), and the heater includes at least another plate element (82F), with the base and the heater being co-formed. A compression element (10) is threadably receivable on the terminal and is structured to compressively retain an electrical conductor (28) between the compression element and the base. |
