PURPOSE: An electric heater assembly with in-line thermostat is provided to obtain a frame supporting a resistance wire with an in-line thermostat having a reduced parts count. CONSTITUTION: An in-line thermostat has substantially flat connection terminals or terminals, each having a though hole. A substantially flat blade connects to each thermostat terminal by a single screw. The end of each blade distal from the screw is crimped to an end of the resistive wire or another conducting element. An insulating support mounts each blade to the frame. The blade may have bendable tabs for securing it to the insulating support.
