Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein include a mounting clip for use with large body thermal switches, which have can a length substantially longer than a diameter of refrigeration tubing. The mounting clip snaps onto the thermal switch, and then snaps or locks onto the refrigeration tubing as well. Embodiments can include a one-piece or two-piece mounting clip that removable presses and holds the thermal switch against a refrigeration tube by encompassing both the refrigeration tube and the thermal switch. The mounting clip can be sized small enough to fit within relatively small space constraints of evaporator units.
