Abstract
An electrical bus strip to receive a terminal post comprises PA1 (a) an elongated metallic bus strip; PA1 (b) a contact integral with and spaced from said strip, said contact protruding toward a plane defined by said strip, and PA1 (c) two pairs of arms having first ends integral with said strip and second ends integral with said contact to support the contact for resiliently yieldable movement normal to said planes in response to insertion of a terminal post into position between the arms of each pair and between the contact and said strip. Typically the bus strip defines an H-shaped opening generally in registration with said contact and arms which were stamped from said strip.
