Abstract

An electronic thermostat is provided with a mounting arrangement between the base means and the cover means that fully protects the electronic components within from both physical and electrical damage during the normal handling of the thermostat. The protection is accomplished by recessing the contact points for the circuitry within openings that can be reached only by mating electrical contacts.
