A method of assembling an overload protector for use in a combination starter-protector device adapted to be associated in circuit relation with a dynamoelectic machine. To practice this method, a conductive member is extended through a slot in a sidewall of a casing, and a contact section of the conductive member is located within an open ended recess in the casing defined by the sidewall and a base wall while a terminal section of the conductive member is located on an extension wall extending laterally of the sidewall. The terminal section is secured against displacement to the extension wall. A support for a bimetal switch element is disposed in an assembly position within the open ended recess, and the bimetal switch element is biased into engagement in circuit relation with the contact section. An overload protector, a combination starter-protector device and a method of assembling a starter-protector device are also disclosed.
