A thermally-sensitive overcurrent protective relay includes a housing case, a bimetal strip bendable in response to an operating current flowing through a control circuit of the overcurrent protective relay, and a movable contact biased by a spring to form a toggle mechanism operable in response to the bending action of the bimetal. A lever supporting bracket mechanically supports the movable contact at a fulcrum portion and electrically connects the movable contact to a terminal. The terminal is mounted in the housing case to conduct current to the control circuit through a contact spring for electrically connecting the lever supporting bracket. This lever supporting member includes a trip current adjusting mechanism adapted to be rotated at its end portion by turning an adjusting screw for adjustment of the operation current.
