A motor starting relay particularly adapted for use in starting single phase asynchronous motors comprises a resistor element of positive temperature coefficient of resistivity which is compactly arranged within a housing and engaged by electrical contact and terminals means of particular structure and of a material of relatively high thermal resistance in a novel way such that power dissipation or loss by the resistor is reduced to a very low level after it has performed its motor starting function but so that, at the same time, the resistor is adapted to cool more rapidly after interruption of motor operation to permit prompt motor restarting.

An improved electromagnetic relay having a wafer of material with positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTC) mounted inside the relay combines a sturdy construction with low manufacturing costs adapting the relay for use as a starting relay for electric motors of compressors. For this purpose, the magnetic members of the relay are incorporated in the electrical relay circuit and are provided with attachments for plug-on connections of the relay to circuit pins of motor-compressor units.

A thermal protective device for semiconductor devices and the like comprises a housing of electrically insulative plastic material made in cup form having at the open end a seat for lodging a bimetallic disc and means for applying the cup to the semiconductor device with the bimetallic disc in direct heat exchange relation therewith. One or more electric terminals is incorporated in the housing at the time of molding and is connected in power supply circuits of the semiconductor device and/or alarm and signaling circuits. The bimetallic disc acts on said electric terminals so as to interrupt or modify the power supply to the semiconductor device or to actuate an alarm signal.
