Abstract

A pouch holds a temperature-dependent switching device (15) to protect a load (11) from excess temperature or current. The p has a first counter contact (24) for the switching device connected electrically to the load. A second counter contact (26) conn to an external connector (27) to supply power to the load. The pouch holds a detached switching device to connect directly to bo counter contacts when below its operating temperature.
